Brakes
1. Fit new piston seals and dust seals to the caliper
bores.

1. Piston seal
2. Dust seal
Ensure that the bores do not become scratched during
piston removal and assembly. Ensure that the pistons
remain square to their bores during fitment, as incorrect
fitment can lead to seal and bore damage. A dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident could result from damaged seals and/or
bores.
2. Apply brake fluid to the outside of the caliper pistons
and fluid seals.
3. Carefully push the pistons fully and squarely into the
caliper bores by hand.
4. Once all seals and pistons have been fitted, carefully
clean the mating faces of both sides of the caliper.
5. Fit new joint seals to the recess in one half of the
caliper.

1. Joint seals
Ensure the mating surfaces of the caliper halves are
clean and free from dust prior to assembly. Failure to
ensure that the mating faces are clean and free from
dust will result in a dangerous riding condition leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
6. Apply a small drop of threadlocking solution
IThreeBond 1305 or equivalent> to the threads of the
new caliper bolts and secure the two halves of the
caliper together. Tighten the caliper bolts to 22 Nm.
Installation
1. Position the caliper over the disc taking care not to
damage the wheel.
2. Tighten the caliper bolts to 40 Nm.
3. Refit the brake pads (see page
15-15).
4. Connect the brake hose to the caliper incorporating
new sealing washers on each side of the union.
5. Tighten the brake hose union bolt to 25 Nm.
Use only D.O.T. 4 specification brake fluid as listed in
the general information section of this manual. The use
of brake fluids other than those D.O.T. 4 fluids listed in
the general information section may reduce the
efficiency of the braking system leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given earlier
in this section of the manual.
To prevent body damage, do not spill brake fluid onto
any area of the bodywork. Spilled brake fluid will
damage paintwork.
6. Fill the master cylinder with new, DOT 4 brake fluid
from a sealed container.
Z Bleed the front brake line (see page
15-12).
8. Check the operation of the front brake. Rectify as
necessary.
