Service Solution
To replace the front brake pads, please refer to the instructions given in the Workshop Manual, in Section 4: “Maintenance Operations – Inspection and wear of front brake pads” concerning the affected motorcycle.
WARNING
You must protect the rim near the work area closest to the brake caliper from damage due to the use of tooling and the removal of the brake caliper from the rotor.
Apply multiple layers of painter’s tape to this work area to prevent contact and/or damage.
Any damages caused to the rim during this repair are the responsibility of the dealer.
In case of damage, submit a YouTech with detailed images to your Service Area Manager for recommendations on corrective actions.
NOTE
To tighten the front brake calipers, follow the notes below:
- Apply ROCOL DRY MOLY PASTE (or equivalent) lubricant on the fastening screws.
- Start the screws by hand and pre-tighten them to a torque of 2 Nm.
- Repeatedly operate the lever of the front brake to allow the brake pads to settle in place.
- Check that the brake fluid level in the relevant reservoir is not below the minimum (MIN) indicator. If this is not the case, proceed with the top-up.
- Hold front brake lever pulled towards the handgrip while tightening the caliper screws (1) to 45Nm ± 5%.
