Maintenance
Breaking-in New Brake Pads and
Discs
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'.
New brake discs and pads require a
period of careful breaking-in that will
optimise the performance and longevity
of the discs

Disc Brake Fluid

Warning
Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means
it will absorb moisture from the air.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly
reduce the boiling point of the brake
fluid causing a reduction in braking
efficiency.
Because of this, always replace brake
fluid in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Always use new brake fluid from a
sealed container and never use fluid
from an unsealed container or from
one which has been previously opened.
Do not mix different brands or grades
of brake fluid.
Check for fluid leakage around brake
fittings, seals and joints and also check
the brake hoses for splits, deterioration
and damage.
Always rectify any faults before riding.
Failure to observe and act upon any of
these items may cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
control and an accident.
