: never squeeze the front brake lever with the caliper removed. It is very difficult to force the pads back into the caliper assembly and brake fluid leakage may result.
Caution Improper jacking may cause damage to the fairing or oil filter. Do not apply the jack head to the fairing lower part or the oil filter when jacking up the motorcycle. |
Warning
Before riding, "pump" the brake repeatedly until brake pads are pressed against the brake disks and proper lever/ pedal stroke and firm feel are restored. Also check that the wheel rotates freely. |
