Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Frequently inspect the
brake lever reserve.
Squeeze the brake lever.
It should move no closer
to the handgrip than 1/2″
(1.3 cm). A smaller
distance indicates low
brake fluid level or air in
the hydraulic system.
Refer to the brake bleeding
information on page 80.
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes
thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16″/1.6 mm). A kit is
available for replacing brake pads. See your dealer.
WARNING
Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or
death. Properly functioning brakes are vital to your safety. Be
sure the brake pads do not drag on the disc and that brake lever
travel is not excessive.
Always replace brake pads when the brake pad material
becomes thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16″/1.6
mm).
