Caliper should move freely on the bracket

13Clean all traces of corrosion off the slider pins and their bores in the caliper and bracket. Renew the rubber dust boots if they are damaged or deteriorated. On R and T models, if the pins are loose, remove them and clean the threads. Apply a suitable non-permanent thread locking compound and tighten them to the specified torque. Do not attempt to remove the pins on V, W, SW, X, SX, Y and SY models.

14 Lubricate the new piston seals with clean brake fluid and install them in their grooves in the caliper bores. Note: On V, W, SW, X, SX,V and SY models, the upper piston and caliper bore diameters are 2 mm larger than the lower ones (see Specifications). Match the correct seals with the bores.

15 Lubricate the new dust seals with clean brake fluid and install them in their grooves in the caliper bores.

16 Lubricate the pistons with clean brake fluid and install them closed-end first into the caliper bores. Using your thumbs, push the pistons all the way in, making sure they enter the bore squarely.

17Fit the pad spring and pad plate, making sure they are correctly positioned as noted on removal (see illustration 3.8a and b).Apply a smear of copper-based grease to the slider pins, fit the slider pin boots and then slide the caliper onto the bracket and check that it is able to move freely (see illustration).

Installation

18 Ifthe caliper was merely displaced from the fork slider, slide it onto the brake disc, making sure the pads sit squarely each side of the disc, install new mounting bolts and tighten them to the torque setting specified at thebeginning of this Chapter (see illustration).Note that the caliper mounting bolt threads are coated with a dry locking compound when new and thus Honda advise that the bolts are renewed whenever they have been removed.

19 If the caliper has been overhauled, slide it over the brake disc, install new mounting bolts and tighten them to the torque setting specified at the beginning of this Chapter, then ease the caliper apart enough to fit the brake pads (see Section 2).

20 Connect the brake hose to the caliper,


Use new caliper mounting bolts on reassembly

using new sealing washers on each side of the banjo fitting. Align the hose as noted on removal. Tighten the ban]o bolt to the torque setting specified at the beginning of this Chapter. Top-up the master cylinder reservoir with new DOT 4 brake fluid, then fill and bleed the hydraulic system (see Section 11). 21 Operate the brake lever several times to bring the pads into contact with the disc. Check that there are no fluid leaks and thoroughly test the operation of the brake before riding the motorcycle.

Inspection


4.2 Checking the brake disc runout

1 Visually inspect the surface of the disc for score marks and other damage. Light scratches are normal after use and won't affect brake operation, but deep grooves and heavy score marks will reduce braking efficiency and accelerate pad wear. If the disc is badly grooved it must be machined or renewed.



2 To check disc runout, position the motorcycle its centre stand and support it so that the front wheel is raised off the ground, Mount a dial gauge on a fork leg, with the gauge plunger touching the surface of the disc about 10 mm from the outer edge (see illustration). Rotate the wheel and watch the gauge needle, comparing the reading with the limit listed in the Specifications at the beginning of this Chapter. If the runout is
