MAINTENANCE

BRAKE INSPECTION

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.
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.
