Installation
Never use mineral based grease in any part of the
braking system or in any area where contact with
the braking system is possible. Mineral based
grease will damage the hydraulic seals in the
calipers and master cylinders. Damage caused by
mineral based grease may reduce braking efficiency
resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons
are compressed. To prevent body damage, ensure
that the displaced fluid does not come into contact
with any part of the bodywork or the rear wheel.
1.
If filling new pads, use hand pressure to
compress the caliper pistons fully into their
bores.
2.
Install the anti-rallle spring into the caliper.
1. Anti rallle spring
3.
Renew the brake pads as a pair or, if both pads
are in a serviceable condition, clean the pad
grooves before fitting them.
Do not apply more than a minimum coating of
grease to the pad retaining pins. Excess grease may
contaminate the brake pads, hydraulic seals and
discs causing reduced braking efficiency and an
accident.

4.
Lubricate the pad retaining pin using a minimum
amount
of
proprietary
high
temperature
'Copperslip' type grease. Refit the pin and retain
with both 'R' clips.
5.
Position the spacer between the wheel hub and
caliper carrier.
1. Wheel hub
2. Spacer
6.
Position the caliper and carrier over the disc
ensuring both pads are correctly aligned either
side of the disc.
7.
Align the caliper carrier with the wheel spindle,
spacer and swinging arm. Once in alignment,
push the wheel spindle through the spacer and
caliper carrier.
8.
Align the caliper carrier to the torque reaction
fixing point. Once in alignment, fit the torque
reaction bolt.
9.
Tighten the wheel spindle nut to 110 Nm and the
torque reaction bolt to 69 Nm.
1. Wheel spindle nut
2. Torque reaction bolt
10. If previously disconnected, incorporating new
washers to each side of the union, fit and tighten
the brake union bolt to 25 Nm.
