BRAKES
Both the front and rear brakes are the
hydraulic disc types.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid
level drops.
There are no adjustments to perform, but
fluid level and pad wear must be inspected
periodically. The system must be inspected
frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If the control lever or pedal free travel
becomes excessive and the brake pads are
not worn beyond the recommended limit
(page 79), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. See your
authorized Honda dealer for this service.
