MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Brakes

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by

moving the single brake lever toward the handlebar. The auxiliary foot

brake is also hydraulic. Both brake systems are self-adjusting.
Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good

operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily

during normal operation.
1. Check the brake system for

fluid leaks.

2. Check the brakes for

excessive travel or spongy

feel.

3. Check the friction pads for

wear, damage and

looseness. Replace pads

when the friction material is

worn to .03″ (.8 mm).

4. Check the security and

surface condition of the

disc.
