MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

Brakes
Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced
as a wheel set. At the front, where
two calipers are installed on the same
wheel, replace all the brake pads in
both calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been installed, ride with extreme
caution until the new pads have
'broken in'.
Brake pads must be inspected
in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements and replaced
if worn to, or beyond the minimum
service thickness.

If the lining thickness of any brake
pad (front or rear brakes) is less than

has worn down to the bottom of the
grooves, replace all the brake pads on
that wheel.

and Thruxton RS
If the lining thickness of any brake pad
is less than 0.04 in (1.0 mm) (front) or

rider when the brake pad(s) are below
the minimum thickness. Replace all the
brake pads on that wheel.
