Breaking-In New Brake Discs And Pads; Brake Pad Wear Compensation - Triumph Rocket 3 TFC 2020 Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance
Breaking-in New Brake Discs and
Pads
Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced
as a wheel set. At the front, where two
calipers are fitted on the same wheel,
replace all the brake pads in both
calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been fitted, ride with extreme caution
until the new pads have broken in.
Warning
Brake pad wear will be increased if
the motorcycle is used frequently off-
road. Always inspect the brake pads
more frequently if the motorcycle is
used off-road, and replace the brake
pads before they become worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
Riding with worn brake pads may
reduce braking
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Triumph recommend
careful breaking-in for new brake discs
and pads that, if followed correctly,
will optimise their performance and
longevity.
The recommended
breaking-in new brake discs and pads is
200 miles (300 km).
