2. Brake pads
Brake pads must be inspected in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements and replaced if worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad is less
than, 0.04 in (1.0 mm) (front) or 0.06 in
(1.5 mm) (rear), replace all the pads on
the wheel.
Warning
If installing new proprietary brand
brake pads, check that the carrier
plate of the brake pad is at least 0.2 in
(4.5 mm) thick.
Installing brake pads with the carrier
plate less than 0.2 in (4.5 mm) thick
may result in brake failure due to the
possible loss of the brake pad as it
wears.

Breaking-in New Brake Pads and
Discs
New brake discs and pads require a
period of careful breaking-in that will
optimize the performance and longevity
of the discs and pads. The recommended
distance for breaking in new pads and
discs is 200 miles (300 km).
During this period, avoid
braking, ride with caution and allow for
greater braking distances.
