Brake Pad Bedding-in Instructions
Brake pads should be fitted by experienced mechanics in accordance with the Motorcycle Manufacturer’s Service Manual. New pads require ‘bedding-in’ (80% contact area) before maximum performance is achieved. This may take up to 150 miles – 250kms. Until then use brakes gently, only braking severely in an emergency. Replace pads when the thickness of friction material reaches 2mm.
Replacement pads should only be fitted in axle sets.
