FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Immediately after installing the brake pads, the braking performance may be reduced. Always perform a road test in a safe place while paying attention to the surroundings.

  • Immediately after installing the front disc brake pads, the brake pedal may feel soft due to clearance between the front disc brake pads and front disc. Depress the brake pedal several times until the brake pedal feels firm.

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.
