Brake Pad Wear

Brake pad wear depends on the severity of usage
and track conditions. (Generally, the pads will
wear faster on wet and dirty tracks.) Inspect the
brake pads at each regular maintenance interval
(page 29).
Front Brake Pads
Inspect the brake pads (1) through the front wheel
to determine the brake pad wear. If either brake
pad is worn anywhere to a thickness of 1 mm (0.04
in), both brake pads must be replaced.
