MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Failure to adjust the brakes so they lock the wheels se-
curely could result in serious personal injury.
FRONT HYDRAULIC DISK BRAKE
INSPECTION
 Inspect the front disk brake caliper and brake fluid reservoir
for leakage. If brake fluid leaks, the safety of riding could
be affected.
 Inspect the brake hose for cracks and the joint for leak-
age.
 Check the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. If
level is at or below the LOWER mark, inspect brake pads
for wear and hydraulic system for leaks.
 Unscrew the 4 screws on top of the brake fluid container
and add fluid as needed.
WARNING:
Add DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid only from a sealed con-
tainer. Do not mix brake fluid types. Failure to follow this
warning could cause the brakes to fail, resulting in serious
personal injury.
ADJUSTING REAR HAND AND FOOT
BRAKES
 Try to move the vehicle backward and forward when the
hand brake is applied. If the rear wheels can turn, adjust
the brake to lock the wheels securely.
 Measure the amount of free play in the rear hand
brake lever. The free play should be about 0.2-0.3 in.
(5-7.6 mm)
 Try to move the vehicle backward and forward when the
foot brake is applied. If the rear wheels can turn, adjust
the brake to lock the wheels securely.
 After any adjustment of the brake adjustment nuts, check
again to make sure the front rear wheels cannot turn when
the brake is applied.
