Brake Inspections
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by
applying the foot brake. The handlebar brake is also hydraulic. Both
brake systems are self-adjusting.
Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good
operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under
normal operation.
1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate
level. See page 112.
2. Check the brake systems regularly for
fluid leaks.
3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or
spongy feel.
4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage
and looseness. Replace the pads when the
friction material is worn to 0.762 mm.
5. Check the security and surface condition
of the disc. Clean any grease using a
recommended brake cleaner or alcohol. Do not use spray lubricants
or other petroleum-based products. If you discover any damage
(cracks, excessive corrosion, warping) see your dealer for service
before operating.
