Check Rear Brake Fluid Level
1. To check the rear brake fluid level, remove the right
side cover. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a
vertical position.
2. View the brake fluid through the reservoir. The fluid
should be clear and at a level between MIN and MAX.
Add brake fluid if necessary (see page 96).
Check Hoses and Connections
Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or stains
from leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking connections
and replace components as necessary.
Check Brake Pads
Look into the front brake caliper(s) from underneath, and into
the rear brake caliper from behind, you should see at least 1/16
inch (1.6 mm) of friction material on each of the brake pads. If
in doubt, measure remaining friction material. Replace brake
pads having less than the specified amount of friction material
at their thinnest point.
