Chassis
Brakes
The hydraulic disc brakes (front) and single mechanical drum brake
(rear) on your ATV dissipate heat generated by the friction of the
brake pads on the discs (front) and the brake shoes on the drum
(rear) as the wheels are slowed.
Hydraulic Disc Front Brake
As the front brake pads wear, brake fluid level will drop. A leak in the
system will also cause the level to drop.
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 right brake lever freeplay does not feel within the normal range
while riding, check the brake pads for wear (page 178).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not worn beyond the
recommended limit, there is probably air in the brake system. See
your dealer to have the air bled from the system.
Mechanical Drum Rear Brake
If the rear brake lever/parking brake lever or brake pedal freeplay
does not feel within the normal range while riding, check the brake
shoes for wear (page 183).
The recommended brake fluid is DOT 4 Brake Fluid, or any brake
fluid of equal quality and performance. Use fresh brake fluid from a
sealed container. Be sure to read the label before opening the sealed
container. An opened container may be contaminated or may have
absorbed moisture from the air.
