BRAKES

36

During measurement, confirm the dial gauge

probe should be approx. 10 mm from the outer

edge of the brake rotor, perpendicular to the disc

and under slight preload.

Check front wheel bearing for looseness before

face runout measurement.

The control of the braking surface finish is

necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance.

It will also help in extending pad life.
