MAINTENANCE
Brakes
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.
Brake Inspections
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 94.
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 1 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.
