Bold reference numbers in this section identify parts not shown in the figures alongside the text, but which can be found in the exploded view diagram.

The brake master cylinder manufacturer advises against servicing the brake master cylinder due to the safety critical nature of this component. Incorrect overhaul of this component could endanger rider safety.

For the ABS rear braking system, also refer to Sect. G 9.1, ABS system operating information, Sect. G 9.2, System components, Sect. G 9.3, ABS components maintenance.

To replace the brake pads, please refer to Sect. D 4, Checking brake pad wear and changing brake pads.

To remove the speed sensor (13), undo the screw (12) securing it to the calliper mounting bracket, taking care not to damage the spacer (7).

When replacing the brake lines or removing one of the rear braking system components, pay special attention to the position of the couplings on the master cylinder, callipers and control unit.

If the speed sensor (13) was removed, fit it on the calliper holder bracket with the spacer (7) and tighten the screw (12) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Fit the copper sealing washers (2) to either side of the hose end fitting when connecting the brake hose (6) to the brake calliper. Orientate the end fittings of the hose (6) on the calliper as shown in the photo.

Tighten the special screws (1) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Fit the rear brake calliper (3) over the brake disc, aligning it with the holes in the calliper mounting bracket. Grease the threads and undersides of the heads of the screws (5). Tighten the screws (5) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

The gap between the sensor (13) and the brake disc fixing screw (12) must be within 0.6 to 2.2 mm.
