CAUTION:
• Always replace the pads for both the left and
right wheels at the same time. Also replace pad
clips if they are twisted or worn.
• A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc
brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an ex-
tent that the end of the wear indicator contacts
the disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced
as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, re-
place the pad.
• Replace pad if there is oil or grease on it.
