7.6.1 CHANGING THE BRAKE PADS
Carefully read 1.3.9 (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
INFORMATION) and 2.27 (CHECKING THE BRAKE
PAD WEAR).
Place the vehicle on the center stand.
NOTE
It will be easier to work if you remove the rear
wheel, 7.3.1 (REMOVING THE COMPLETE WHEEL).
Remove the two cotter pins (1).
Slide the pivot (2) out from the right side.
Remove the brake pads (3).
Retrieve the safety springs (4).
WARNING
Do not operate the brake lever after removing the
pads, otherwise the caliper pistons could come out
of their seat, causing brake fluid to leak out.
Insert two new pads, placing them so that their holes
are aligned with those on the clamp.
WARNING
Always replace both pads, and make sure they are
correctly positioned inside the clamp.
When reassembling, be sure to place the two safety
springs (4) correctly.
Check the brake fluid level, see 2.17 (CHECKING AND
TOPPING UP THE REAR BRAKE FLUID).
