Checking wear of the brake pads
Every 5000 km (3000 miles) check thickness of
the brake pads.
- New pad 9 mm (.3543 " ).
- Wear limit 6 mm (.2362 " ).
If thickness is below the wear limit, it is neces-
sary to replace the pads.
After this operation has been carried out there
is no need to bleed the air from the braking cir-
cuits but only to operate the control lever on the
handlebar (<<8» in fig. 15) several times until the
caliper pistons reach their normal position.
When replacing the pads, check also the condi-
tion of the fluid ducts: if in any way damaged ,
replace them immediately.

The discs should be perfectly clean, without oil.
grease or other impurity, also without any deep
scoring.
