Checking Brake Pads For Wear; Lubricating Cables And Joints - Ducati MH 900 Evoluzione 2001 Anleitung- Und Instandhaltungsheft

Checking brake pads for wear (fig. 39)
Front brake
To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from
the callipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the
grooves in the friction material are still visible, the pad is
still in good condition.
Rear brake
Friction material on each pad must be at least 1 mm
E
thick.
Important
Have the brake pads replaced at your Ducati
Dealer's shop or Authorised Workshop.

Lubricating cables and joints

The condition of the outer sheaths of the throttle and
fast-idle cables should be checked at regular intervals.
The sheaths should show no signs of squeezing or
cracking. Work the controls to make sure the cable slides
smoothly inside the sheath: if you feel any friction or hard
spots, have the cable replaced by your Ducati Dealer or
Authorised Workshop.
To prevent these failures, smear the ends of the Bowden
cables with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2 at
regular intervals.
For the throttle cable, it is best to open the device by
unscrewing the two fastening screws (1, fig. 40) and
then grease the cable end and the pulley.
Warning
When refitting the cover, be sure to slide the cable
onto the suitable pulley.
Refit the cover and tighten the screws (1, fig. 40).
To ensure smooth operation of the side stand joint, clean
off any dirt and grease all points exposed to friction with
SHELL Alvania R3.
