- Check brake disc friction surface.
- If brake disc shows signs of being skew, check its lateral run-out. See MEASURING DISC BRAKE LATERAL RUN-OUT under SERVICING.
- If brake disc shows signs of major wear, variations in thickness, etc., replace it. See BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Press pistons back with a poly-grip. Take care to avoid damaging dirt guard.
- Check that dirt guard is positioned properly.
