CHECKING BRAKE PAD WEAR
CAUTION The following instructions apply to both brakes.
Outlined below is a quick brake pad inspection procedure:
•
Position the vehicle on the center stand.
•
Using a lamp and a mirror placed between the brake
caliper and pads, visually check as follows.
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER
- From below, on the front part, for the left pad;
- From above, on the front part, for the right pad; look
through the rim.
REAR BRAKE CALIPER
- From above, on the rear part, for both pads.
If the thickness of the friction material (even of a single pad)
has reduced to about 1.5 mm (0.05 in), have both pads
changed.
- Front brake pads (4).
- Rear brake pads (5).
