Brake pads
Checking front brake pad
thickness
Brake pads worn past the
minimum permissible thick-
ness can cause a reduction in
braking efficiency and under
certain circumstances they can
cause damage to the brake sys-
tem.
In order to ensure the dependab-
ility of the brake system, do not
permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
thickness.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Visually inspect the left and
right brake pads to ascertain
their thickness. Viewing direc-
tion: Between wheel and fork
tube toward the brake caliper.
