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 fitting new proprietary brand brake pads,
check that the carrier plate of the brake
pad is at least 4.5 mm thick.
Fitting brake pads with the carrier plate less
than 4.5 mm thick may result in brake
failure due to the possible loss of the brake
pad as it wears.
Brake pads for this model supplied by
Triumph will have the carrier plate at least
Maintenance and Adjustment

Breaking-in New Brake Pads and
Discs
After replacement brake discs and/or pads
have been fitted to the motorcycle, we
recommend a period of careful breaking-in
that will optimise the performance and
longevity of the discs and pads. The
recommended distance for breaking-in new
pads and discs is 200 miles (300 km).
After fitting new brake discs and/or pads
avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and
allow for greater braking distances during the
breaking-in period.
