Brake pad removal
Note:
• Complete the assembly of the brake pads to
one caliper {see assembly for details> before
removing the pads from the other caliper.
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 contact with mineral based grease
may reduce braking efficiency resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Brakes
1. Fit new brake pads as an axle set or, if all the pads
are in a serviceable condition, clean the pad grooves
before refitting all pads in their original positions.

Installing brake pads
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 leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
2. Lubricate the pad retaining pins using a minimum
amount of proprietary high temperature 'Coppers lip'
type grease.
3. Fit the anti-rattle spring over the pads and push
down in the centre to allow the pad retaining pin to
slide across the top of the spring.
4. Tighten the pad retaining pin to
18 Nm,
and secure
with a new split pin.
5. Pump the brake lever to correctly position the caliper
pistons.
Use only D.O.T. 4 specification brake fluid as listed in
the general information section of this manual. The use
of brake fluids other than those D.O.T. 4 fluids listed in
the general information section may reduce the
efficiency of the braking system leading to an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given on
page 1.4.
