REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS

Read through the paragraph (PRECAUTIONS AND

GENERAL INFORMATION).

Remove the rear brake caliper, see (REMOVING THE

REAR BRAKE CALIPER).

Remove stop ring (1).

Remove pin (2).

Remove spring (3).

The vibration-damping plates are removed to-

gether with the pads.

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

damping plates (5)) by withdrawing them one by one.

Do not pull the brake lever after removing the

brake pads as the caliper piston may come out of

its seat and cause a leakage of brake fluid.

Replace the pads (4).

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

signs of wear.

Always replace both pads and make sure to

properly position them inside the caliper.

Fit two new pads and vibration-damping plates paying

attention to the assembly direction (direction of rota-

tion of the wheel).

Correctly install the spring (3), see Turn Indicator.

Fit the pin (2).

Fit the stop ring (1).

Check the brake fluid level, see (CHECKING THE

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL).
