Front Brake LeverAdjustment
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 23.
Both the front and rear brakes are the hydraulic
disc type. As the brake pads wear, the brake
fluid level will drop. A leak in the system will
also cause the level to drop.
Frequently inspect the system to ensure there are
no fluid leaks. Periodically inspect the brake
fluid level and the brake pads for wear.
If the braking response of the front brake lever or
rear pedal feels unusual, check the brake pads. If
the brake pads are not worn beyond the
recommended limit (page 90), there is probably
air in the brake system.
Refer to an official Honda Service Manual or see
your Honda dealer to have the air bled from the
system.
