Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual: Front Caliper Removal

• Remove: Bolt [A] Front Wheel Rotation Sensor [B]
• Loosen the banjo bolt [C] at the brake hose lower end, and tighten it loosely.
• Unscrew the caliper mounting bolts [D], and detach the caliper [E] from the disc.

NOTICE

Do not loosen the caliper assembly bolts [F]. Take out only the caliper mounting bolts for caliper removal.

Loosening the caliper assembly bolts will cause brake fluid leakage.

• Unscrew the banjo bolt and remove the brake hose from the caliper (see Brake Hose and Pipe Replacement in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

NOTICE

Immediately wash away any brake fluid that spills.

NOTE

If the caliper is to be disassembled after removal and if compressed air is not available, disassemble the caliper before the brake hose is removed (see Caliper Rubber Parts Replacement in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

• Remove the collars [A] from the fork leg.
