INSPECTION
1. CHECK BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON
(a) Check the cylinder bore and piston for rust or scoring.
If necessary, replace the cylinder and piston.





2. CHECK PAD LINING THICKNESS
(a) Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
Standard thickness: 11.0 mm (0.433 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the pad lining thickness is equal to or less than the minimum, replace the pad.

3. CHECK FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD SUPPORT PLATE
(a) Check the 4 plates.
Make sure that the plates have sufficient rebound and are free from deformation, cracks, wear, rust and dirt. If necessary, replace the plates.

4. CHECK DISC THICKNESS
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.
Standard thickness: 32.0 mm (1.260 in.)
Minimum thickness: 30.0 mm (1.181 in.)
If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the disc.
