MAINTENANCE
Brake System Inspection
1. Inspect all brake hoses and connections for
dampness or stains from leaking or dried
fluid. Tighten any leaking connections and
replace components as necessary. See the
SLINGSHOT Service Manual or your
authorized dealer.
2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or
a spongy feel.
3. Check the brake pads for wear, damage and
looseness.
4. Inspect brake discs for nicks, scratches, cracks
or other damage. Clean any grease using an
approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
WARNING! Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum
product to brake discs. These types of products are
flammable and may also reduce the friction between the
brake pad and caliper.
5. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear
surface for excessive wear. Change pads when
worn to 3/64” (1 mm).
6. Inspect the thickness of each brake disc at
four or more locations around the disc. If any
disc is worn to the minimum thickness at the
thinnest point, or if a disc is damaged, see
your dealer for replacement.
