BRAKES
This motorcycle has front and
rear disk brakes.
NOTE: Operating in mud, water,
sand or other extreme conditions
can cause accelerated brake
wear. If you operate your motorcy-
cle under these conditions, the
brakes must be inspected more
often than recommended in the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
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 res-
ervoirs. If the level in either reser-
voir is below the lower mark,
inspect for brake pad wear and
leaks.

maintain your motorcycle’s

your chance of having an acci-
dent.
Be sure to inspect the brakes
before each use according to
the INSPECTION BEFORE
RIDING section. Always main-
tain your brakes according to
