Breaking-in New Brake Discs and
Pads
WARNING
Brake pads must always be replaced
as a wheel set. At the front, replace all
the brake pads in the caliper.
After replacement brake pads have
been fitted, ride with extreme caution
until the new pads have 'broken in'.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may lead to loss
of motorcycle control which could
result in serious injury or death.
New brake discs and pads require a
period of careful breaking-in that will
optimise the performance and longevity
of the discs and pads.
The
recommended
breaking-in new pads and discs is
200 miles (300 km).
During the breaking-in period, avoid
extreme braking, ride with caution and
allow for greater braking distances.
