• Tighten: Torque - Front Caliper Mounting Bolts: 34 NВ·m (3.5 kgfВ·m, 25 ftВ·lb) Rear Caliper Pin Bolt: 27 NВ·m (2.8 kgfВ·m, 20 ftВ·lb) Brake Hose Banjo Bolts: 25 NВ·m (2.5 kgfВ·m, 18 ftВ·lb)

• Check the fluid level in the brake reservoirs.
• Bleed the brake line (see Brake Line Bleeding).
• Check the brake for good braking power, no brake drag, and no fluid leakage.

After servicing, it takes several applications of the brake lever or pedal before the brake pads contact the disc, which could result in increased stopping distance and cause an accident resulting in injury or death. Do not attempt to ride the motorcycle until a firm brake lever or pedal is obtained by pumping the lever or pedal until the pads are against the disc.
