FRONT BRAKE(for Opposed Type Caliper) INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON

   
   

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

2. CHECK PAD LINING THICKNESS

   
   

   1. 

      Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.

      Standard thickness
      8.9 mm (0.350 in.)

      Minimum thickness
      1.2 mm (0.0472 in.)

      If the pad lining thickness is lower/under the minimum, replace the pad.

3. CHECK DISC THICKNESS

   
   

   1. 

      Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.

      Standard Thickness
      30.0 mm (1.18 in.)

      Minimum Thickness
      28.0 mm (1.10 in.)

4. CHECK DISC RUNOUT

   
   
   1. 

      *1	Dial Indicator

      Check the bearing play in the axial direction and check the axle hub runout.

   2. Tighten the disc with the 5 nuts.

      Torque:

      120 N*m  { 1224 kgf*cm, 89 ft.*lbf }

   3. 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
      0.075 mm (0.0030in.)

      Note

      
      

      • Do not bring the magnetic base near the axle hub and speed sensor.

      • Set the magnetic base on the shock absorber.

      • If the runout exceeds the maximum value, change the installation positions of the disc and axle to make the minimum runout. If the runout exceeds the maximum even when the installation positions are changed, replace the front disc.

   4. Remove the 5 hub nuts and front disc.
