Breaking-in New Brake Pads and Discs
After replacement brake discs and/or pads have been fitted to the motorcycle, we recommend a period of
careful breaking-in that will optimise the performance and longevity of the discs and pads. The recommended
distance for breaking in new pads and discs is 200 miles (300 km).
After fitting new brake discs and/or pads avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and allow for greater braking
distances during the breaking-in period.
