First of all, it is necessary to develop the habit of regularly checking brake pad wear. Just like checking tire pressure, oil level, or changing oil, checking brake pad wear should become a basic ability for rider maintenance. Because some problems may be found in this process, such as loosening or damage of insufficient thickness.

Generally speaking, the detection of brake pads is measured by visual inspection or the use of special appliances to measure the thickness of brake pads. In cars and motorcycles recognized standards, when the thickness of the brake pads remaining 3 mm, it should be considered to replace the brake pads, it should be noted that the wear of the brake pad edge does not represent the overall thickness of the wear, different caliper design, brake pad wear may appear uneven.

In daily riding, a common cause of brake failure is the leakage of the brake oil pot, which leads to the contact of the brake oil with the brake disc, causing the skidding situation, in which case it is recommended to carry out a two-part maintenance process: first, replace the brake oil pot; Second, replace the brake pads and thoroughly clean the brake calipers and brake discs.

In addition to visual inspection, you can also judge by observing the feel and sound of the brake handle, which is more of an experience, usually, disc brakes feel smooth when used, no noise or jamming. If the brake is abnormal, it is recommended to check it in time to avoid accidents, which is different from daily use.

When it comes to hands-on ability, how to replace motorcycle brake pads, compared to the car is much simpler, at least do not need a large tool such as a lift, the manufacturer also takes into account the maintenance situation when manufacturing, usually replace the brake pads is easier, the specific steps include the process of removing the brake caliper, replacing the brake pads and reinstalling the brake caliper.

It is also important to test and ensure proper brake operation after replacing the brake pads. After replacing the brake pads, the brake handle should be pulled repeatedly so that the brake piston and the new brake pad are in full contact with the brake disc. Finally, observe whether the liquid level in the brake oil can is normal, and test it in a safe site to ensure that it is safe and reliable.
