WARNING
If you need to disassemble the disc brake
components, observe the following precau-
tions.
• Never disassemble the brake components
unless absolutely necessary.
• If there is any problem with connections
on the hydraulic brake system, perform
the following jobs.
Disassemble the brake system, drain the
brake fluid, and clean it. After that, add a
suitable amount of brake fluid. Then, bleed
it after reassembly.
• Use only brake fluid for washing brake
components.
• Use new brake fluid for cleaning the brake
components.
• Immediately wipe off the spilled brake fluid
to avoid damage to painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
• Handle brake fluid with special care not to
let it enter your eyes so that you may not
lost your eyesight.
• FIRST AID FOR BRAKE FLUID ENTERING
THE EYES:
• Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
immediate medical attention.
EAS2GBB169CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE DISC
1. Remove:
• Front wheel
Refer to “FRONT WHEEL” on page 5-4.
2. Check:
• Front brake disc
Damage/galling  Replace.
3. Measure:
• Brake disc thickness
Measure the brake disc thickness at a few
different locations.
Out of specification  Replace.4. Install:
• Front wheel
Refer to “FRONT WHEEL” on page 5-4.
EAS2GBB170REMOVING THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER
TIP
Before disassembling the brake caliper, drain
the brake fluid from the entire brake system.
1. Remove:
• Union bolt
• Copper washers
• Brake hose
TIP
Put the end of the brake hose into a container
and pump out the brake fluid.

WARNING
• Before installation, clean and lubricate the
internal parts. Use new brake fluid for
cleaning and lubricating.
• Never use solvents on internal brake com-
ponents as they will cause the piston seals
to swell and distort.
• When the brake caliper is disassembled,
replace the brake caliper piston seal and
the brake caliper piston dust seal with new
ones.
EAS2GBB174INSTALLING THE BRAKE CALIPER PISTON
1. Clean:
• Brake caliper
• Brake caliper piston seal
• Brake caliper piston dust seal
• Brake caliper piston
Use brake fluid for cleaning.
2. Install:
• Brake caliper piston seals “1”
• Brake caliper piston dust seal “2”
EWA
WARNING
Always use new brake caliper piston seal
and brake caliper piston dust seal.
TIP
• Apply the silicone grease on the brake caliper
piston seal and brake caliper piston dust seal.
• Fit the brake caliper piston seal and the brake
caliper piston dust seal into the grooves in the
brake caliper correctly.

WARNING
Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation.
ECA
NOTICE
Make sure that the pipe portion “a” of the
brake hose touches the projection “b” on
the brake caliper.2. Install:
• Front brake caliper
• Brake pad spring
• Brake pad
• Brake pad pin
• Brake hose holder
Refer to “CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE
PADS” on page 3-27.
3. Tighten:
• Brake hose holder nut “1”
TIP
Make sure that the brake hose holder “2” is in-
stalled with its upper end “a” aligned with the
paint “b” on the brake hose.
4. Pour brake fluid to the brake master cylinder
reservoir up to the specified level.
EWA
WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock. Front brake caliper bracket
