Removal

Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto
any area of the bodywork. Spilled brake fluid will
damage paintwork.
1. Remove the brake pads (see page 14-14).
2. Disconnect the brake hose at the caliper (two hoses
on right hand caliper), and place the free end of the
hose(s) in a suitable container to collect the brake
fluid.
