CHANGING THE BRAKE PADS

Read carefully (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL

INFORMATION).

Remove the rear brake caliper, see (REMOVING THE

REAR BRAKE CALIPER).

Remove the collar (1).

Slide out the pin (2).

Remove the spring (3).

As the pads slide out, the vibration-damping

plates will slide out with them.

Remove the pads (4) (complete with vibration-damp-

ing plates (5)), sliding them out one at a time.

Do not engage the brake lever after removing the

pads; this may cause the caliper piston to leave

its seat, allowing brake fluid to leak.

Replace the pads (4).

Replace the vibration-damping plates (5) if they are

worn.

Always replace both pads together in order to

ensure they are correctly placed inside the caliper.

Insert two new pads, together with the vibration-

damping plates, taking care to respect the fitting

direction (arrow in the rotation direction of the wheel).

Insert the spring (3) correctly, see direction arrow.

Insert the pin (2).

Fit the collar (1).

Check the level of the brake fluid, see (CHECKING

THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL).

CAUTION
