Front Brake Caliper
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. Disconnect the brake hose at the caliper and
place the free end of the hose in a suitable
container to collect any displaced brake fluid.
2. Remove the brake pads as described on page
15.11.
3. Remove the two caliper bolts.
4. Manoeuvre the caliper clear of the disc, taking
care not to damage the wheel.

Disassembly
Do not attempt to split the two halves of the caliper.
A dangerous riding condition leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident could occur if
this warning is ignored.
To prevent injury, never place fingers or hands inside
the caliper opening when removing the pistons.
Always wear eye, hand and face protection when
using compressed air. Eye, face and skin damage
will result from direct contact with compressed air or
brake fluid.
1. Cover the caliper opening with a clean, heavy
cloth and, using either compressed air blown into
the brake hose connection point, or by
reconnecting the master cylinder and pumping
the brake lever, remove each of the pistons, one
at a time.
