PADS CLEANING
Be careful that no brake fluid or any oil gets on
brake pads or discs. Clean off with alcohol any fluid
or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc.
Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be
cleaned satisfactorily.
PADS INSTALLATION
Reassemble the pads by proceeding in the opposite
direction to the disassembly.
WARNING*: Do not attempt to ride the motor-
cycle until the brake lever or pedal are fully ef-
fective. "Pump" with the brake lever or pedal
until the pads are against the discs. The brake
will not function on the first application of the
lever or pedal.
BRAKE DISC WEAR
Measure the thickness of each disc at the point
where it has worn the most. Replace the disc if it
has worn past the service limit.

Poor braking can also be caused by oil on the disc.

high flash-point oil free solvent, such as acetone or
lacquer thinner.

EXHAUST MUFFLER
The muffler reduces the noise of the exhaust gases,
but it is an integral part of the exhaust as well. As
such, its conditions affect the motorcycle perfor-
mance.
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.
