      *1 Ruler

      Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.

      Standard thickness
      12.0 mm (0.472 in.)
      Minimum thickness
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

      If the pad lining thickness is less than the minimum, replace the brake pads.

      Tech Tips

      Be sure to check wear of the front disc after replacing the brake pads with new ones.

  2. INSPECT DISC THICKNESS

      *1 Micrometer

      Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.

      Front Disc Thickness
      Rear Disc Type Standard Thickness Minimum Thickness
      Solid 28.0 mm (1.10 in.) 25.0 mm (0.984 in.)
      Ventilated 34.0 mm (1.34 in.) 31.0 mm (1.22 in.)

      Tech Tips

      The type of front disc used can be determined by checking the type of the rear disc.

      If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the front disc.

  3. INSPECT BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON


    1. Check the cylinder bore and piston for rust or scoring. If necessary, replace the disc brake cylinder assembly and piston.

  4. INSPECT FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD SUPPORT PLATE


    1. Inspect the front disc brake pad support plate. If necessary, replace the front brake pad support plate.

      Tech Tips

      Make sure that the pad support plate has sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or wear, and that all rust and dirt are cleaned off.

  5. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT

      Using SST to hold the disc, tighten the disc with the 5 hub nuts.

      SST
      09330-00021
      Torque:
      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }

      *1 Dial Indicator

      Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.394 in.) away from the outer edge of the front disc.

      Maximum disc runout
      0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)

      Note


      • Keep the magnet of the dial indicator away from the axle hub and speed sensor.

      • Install the dial indicator to the shock absorber.

      Tech Tips

      If the runout exceeds the maximum value, change the installation position of the disc on the front axle hub to minimize the runout. If the runout exceeds the maximum even after the installation position is changed, check the bearing play in the axial direction and the axle hub runout Click here. If the bearing play and the axle hub runout are normal and if the disc thickness is not within the specified range, grind the disc. If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the disc.

    3. Remove the 5 hub nuts and the front disc.
