BRAKES
This motorcycle utilizes front and rear
disk brakes. Proper operation of
brake systems are vital to safe riding.
Be sure to perform the brake inspec-
tion as scheduled.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Inspect your brake system for the fol-
lowing items daily:
• Inspect the fluid level in the reser-
voirs.
• Inspect the front and rear brake
system for signs of fluid leakage.
• Inspect the brake hose for leak-
age or a cracked appearance.
• The brake lever and pedal should
have the proper stroke and be firm
at all times.
• Check the wear of the disk brake
pads.
BRAKE HOSE INSPECTION
Inspect the brake hoses and hose
joints for cracks, damage or brake
fluid leakage. If any defects are found,
ask your Suzuki dealer to replace the
brake hose with a new one.
BRAKE FLUID
FRONT
REAR
Check the brake fluid level in both the
front and rear brake fluid reservoirs. If
the level in either reservoir is below
the lower mark, inspect for brake pad
wear and leaks.

maintain your motorcycle’s brake
systems can increase your chance
of having an accident.
Be sure to inspect the brakes
before each use according to the
INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING
