Wear Limits
Front brake disc (min)4.5 mmStandard 5.0 ± 0.2 mm
Rear brake disc (min)4.5 mmStandard 5.0 ± 0.2 mm
Brake pad — front (min)0 mmNot printed as a standalone thickness limit in the extracted text — manual describes wear-indicator-groove inspection. Left unverified rather than guessed.
Brake pad — rear (min)0 mmNot printed as a standalone thickness limit in the extracted text — manual describes wear-indicator-groove inspection. Left unverified rather than guessed.
Clutch friction plate (min)2.62 mmNo.1 drive plate. Standard 2.92–3.08 mm. No.2/No.3 drive plates: standard 3.72–3.88mm, limit 3.42mm — this bike uses three distinct friction plate types, not one uniform spec.
Drive chain slack (limit)30 mmEquals the standard adjustment range maximum — the manual does not define a separate over-limit threshold
