Check Front Brake Fluid Level

1. To check the front brake fluid level, rest the

motorcycle on the sidestand and on level ground. Turn

the handlebars until the front brake fluid reservoir is

level.

2. View the brake fluid through the sight glass. The fluid

should be clear and at a level in or above the sight

glass. Add brake fluid if necessary (see page 93).

Check Rear Brake Pedal Freeplay and Movement

Rear brake pedal freeplay -- the amount of brake pedal

movement from the rest position to the point of contacting the

master cylinder -- should be 3/16--5/16 inch (5--8 mm). Adjust

pedal freeplay as necessary (see page 95).
Press and release the rear brake pedal. It should move freely

and smoothly and should return to its rest position quickly

when you release it. You should feel a firm resistance in the

pedal within the first 3/4 inch (19 mm) of pedal travel.
