Rear Brake Pad Installation

• Check that the pad spring is in place on the caliper.
• Push the caliper piston in as far as it will go.
• Install the piston side pad [A] first, and then another pad.

Fit the brake pad end into the recess [B] of the caliper holder.

• Install the pad pin and the plug.
• Tighten:

Torque - Rear Brake Pad Pin: 17 NВ·m (1.7 kgfВ·m, 13 ftВ·lb) Rear Brake Pad Pin Plug: 2.5 NВ·m (0.25 kgfВ·m, 22 inВ·lb)

After servicing, it takes several applications of the brake 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 pedal is obtained by pumping the pedal until the pads are against the disc.
