PAD CLEANING
Make sure that there are no traces of brake fluid or oil
on the pads or discs. Use alcohol to clean the pads or
discs from any traces of fluid or oil.
If the pads cannot be cleaned properly, replace them.
PAD INSTALLATION
Refit the pads following the removal procedure in
reverse order.
WARNING
Do not ride the motorcycle until the brake
lever or pedal is fully effective. "Pump"
the brake lever or pedal until the pads are
against the discs. The brake will not operate
when the lever or pedal is activated for the
first time.
DISC CLEANING
A poor braking efficiency can also be caused by the
presence of oil on the disc. Oil or grease on the disc can
be removed using a high flammability index solvent
such as acetone or similar products.
BRAKE DISC WEAR
Measure the thickness of each disc in the point of
maximum wear. Replace the disc if it wear exceeds the
limit provided.
Disc thickness:

RS front

EXHAUST MUFFLER
The muffler reduces the exhaust noise, but it is also
an integral part of the exhaust system. As such, its
conditions affect the motorcycle performance. When
the noise on the exhaust is too high, it means that the
deadening material set on the holed tube inside the
muffler is deteriorated.
