Brake Drag Force Check
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Remove the brake pad, shim and clip (Refer to BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT < EXCEPT RALLIART > < Except RALLIART > or BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT < RALLIART > < RALLIART >).
- Using a spring scale, measure the hub sliding torque in the forward direction with the brake pad, shim and clip removed.
- Install the brake pad, shim and clip (Refer to BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT < EXCEPT RALLIART > < Except RALLIART > or BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT < RALLIART > < RALLIART >).
- Start the engine, and depress the brake pedal lightly two or three times. Then stop the engine. [Depressing force: approximately 50 - 100 N (11.2 - 22.5 pound)]
- Turn the brake disc 10 times in the forward direction.
- Using a spring scale, measure the hub sliding torque in the forward direction with the brake pad, shim and clip installed.
- Obtain the disc brake drag force (difference between measured values of item 2 and item 6).
Standard value:
68 N (15.3 pounds) or less < Front (Except RALLIART) >
85 N (19.1 pounds) or less < Front (RALLIART) >
68 N (15.3 pounds) or less < Rear >
- If the brake drag force exceeds the standard value, disassemble the brake caliper assembly to check for fouling/rust on the piston sliding section and piston seal deterioration, and confirm whether the guide pin and lock pin slide properly (Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY < 15-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKE > < 15-inch front disc brake >, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY < 16-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKE (EXCEPT RALLIART) > < 16-inch front disc brake (Except RALLIART) >, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY < 16-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKE (RALLIART) > < 16-inch front disc brake (RALLIART) >, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY < 14-INCH REAR DISC BRAKE > < 14-inch rear disc brake >, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY < 16-INCH REAR DISC BRAKE (EXCEPT RALLIART) > < 16-inch rear disc brake (Except RALLIART) > or DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY < RALLIART > < 16-inch rear disc brake (RALLIART) >).
