Brake Fluid Recommendation
Brakes
Servicing Your Honda
As the front brake shoes wear, brake fluid level will drop. A leak in the
system will also cause the level to drop.
Inspect the system before each ride to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
Periodically inspect the brake fluid level and front and rear brake shoes
for wear.
If the brake lever or brake pedal freeplay does not feel within the
normal range while riding, check the brake shoes for wear (page ).
Worn shoes should be replaced. If the shoes are not worn beyond the
recommended limit, there is probably air in the brake system. See your
Honda dealer to have the air bled from the system.
The hydraulic drum brakes (front) and single mechanical drum brake
(rear) on your ATV dissipate heat generated by the friction of the brake
shoes on the drums as the wheels are slowed.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 3 or 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.
