(maximum)
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
a. Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand so
that the wheel is elevated.
b. Before measuring the front brake disc deflec-
tion, turn the handlebar to the left or right to
ensure that the front wheel is stationary.
c. Remove the brake caliper.
d. Hold the dial gauge at a right angle against
the brake disc surface.
e. Measure the deflection 2 X 3 mm (0.08 X
0.12 in) below the edge of the brake disc.
3. Measure:
S brake disc thickness
Measure the brake disc thickness at a few
different locations.
Out of specification ! Replace.
Brake disc thickness limit
(minimum)
4.5 mm (0.18 in)
4. Adjust:
S brake disc deflection
a. Remove the brake disc.
