- Loosen the pad mounting pins 1.
- Remove the brake caliper by removing the caliper mounting bolts 2.
- Remove the pad mounting pins 1, brake pads.
Caution:
- Do not operate the brake lever with the pads removed.
- Replace the brake pads as a set, otherwise braking performance will be adversely affected.
Note:
- When the brake caliper is removed, care must be used so as not to cause stress to the brake hose. (Hang the brake caliper on the frame with a string, etc.)
- When removing the brake pad, push the piston all the way into the brake caliper.
- Inspect the pad mounting pins and shims for bent or damage. If any defects are found, replace the pad mounting pins with the new ones.
Note:
- Install the brake pad shims 3 onto the new brake pad, as shown.
- The arrow mark on the brake shim must face to the direction of brake disc rotation.
- Install the new brake pads.
- Install the brake caliper.
- Tighten the pad mounting pin 1 and front brake caliper mounting bolt 2 to the specified torque.
- Pad mounting pin 1: 15 Nm (1.5 kgf·m, 11.0 lb·ft)
- Front brake caliper mounting bolt 2: 39 Nm (3.9 kgf·m, 28.0 lb·ft)
Note: After replacing the brake pads, pump the brake lever a few times to check for proper brake operation and then check the brake fluid level.
