Servicing Your Honda 87
Brakes
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 43.
The front brake is 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 front brake lever freeplay does not feel
within the normal range while riding, check the
brake pads. If they are not worn beyond the
recommended limit (page 90), there is probably
air in the brake system. See your dealer to have
the air bled from the system.
Never use adjusters other than those designed
for this motorcycle. Install a new adjuster from
the lever side with the lock nut under the head
of the adjuster.
