Brakes
22. If removing the caliper completely, disconnect the
brake hose. Otherwise, leave the hose attached.
Do not allow the caliper to hang on the brake hose as
this may damage the hose and could lead to reduced
brake efficiency causing loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
23. As an assembly, manoeuvre the caliper and carrier
until it is clear of the brake disc and wheel, collecting
the spacer once it is freed from the caliper carrier.

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 fitting new pads, use hand pressure to compress
the caliper pistons fully into their bores.
2. Install the anti-rattle spring into the caliper.

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.
