Suzuki VZR1800/BZ Owner's Manual page 85

Inspect the front and rear brake pads
by noting whether or not the friction
pads are worn down to the grooved
wear limit line 1. If a front or rear pad
is worn to the grooved wear limit line
both front or both rear pads must be
replaced with new ones by your
authorized Suzuki dealer or qualified
service mechanic.
 WARNING
Failure to inspect and maintain the
brake pads and replace them
when recommended can increase
your chance of having an acci-
dent.
If you need to replace brake pads,
have your Suzuki dealer do this
work. Inspect and maintain the
brake pads as recommended.
 WARNING
If you ride this motorcycle after
brake system repair or brake pad
replacement without pumping the
brake lever/pedal, you may get
poor braking performance which
could result in an accident.
After brake system repair or brake
pad replacement, pump the brake
lever/pedal several times until
brake pads are pressed against
the brake disks and proper lever/
pedal stroke and firm feel are
restored.
NOTE: Do not squeeze/depress the
brake lever/pedal when the pads are
not in their positions. It is difficult to
push the pistons back and brake fluid
leakage may result.
 WARNING
Replacing only one of the two
brake pads can result in uneven
braking action and can increase
your chance of having an acci-
dent.
Always replace
together.
