Measure the disc thickness at over four
points.
If any of measured points is below the wear
limit, replace the brake disc with new one. 1.

Clean the dissembled components and visually check the followings:
- Wear, rust and damage on the cylinder and piston
- Damage, crack and wear on cylinder body and guide pin
- Uneven wear and oil contamination on pad
- Damage and tear on boot
- Scratch and bending on disc plate
▶Pad Thickness
Remove the front tire.
Measure the pad thickness and replace it if it
is below the wear limit. 1.

Install the dial gauge on the side of brake disc
and measure the run-out while rotating the
brake disc.
If the measured value exceeds the limit,
replace the brake disc with new one.
Otherwise, it may cause the pedal vibration
and shimmy when braking. 1.

Let the engine run for 1 to 2 minutes and
stop it. If the brake pedal stroke is shortened
as pumping the brake pedal, the system is
normal. If not, the system is defective. 1.
Depress the brake pedal several times with
engine off. If the brake goes down when
starting engine with pedal depressed, the
system is normal. If not, the system is
defective. 2.
If the above three checks are OK, the system is
normal. If any condition is not met, check the
valve, vacuum hose and brake booster.
3) Brake Booster
OK
NG
Engine stopped
Engine running
Depress the brake pedal when the engine is
running. If the pedal height is not changed
for 30 seconds after stopping the engine, the
system is normal. If not, the system is
defective. 3.

4) Stop Lamp Switch
Connect the multimeter to stop lamp switch
connector (N.O.) and check if the continuity
exists when pushing in the plunger. If the
continuity doesn't exist, the stop lamp switch
is normal.

5) Pedal Free Play
Check the pedal free play with below
procedures: -
Stop the engine.
Depress the brake pedal several times to
discharge the vacuum pressure of the
brake booster.
Depress the brake pedal until you feel the
resistance, and measure the movement
(A). 1.

Specified value(A)3 ~ 10 mm
If the free play is below the specified value, check if
the clearance between the outer case of the stop
lamp and the brake pedal is within the specified
range. If the clearance is out of the specified range,
the clearance between the clevis pin and the brake
pedal arm is too large. Check the components and
repair if needed.
