BRAKE SYSTEM
BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE NOTES
Disc brake systems are lightweight, low maintenance, and
perform well in the conditions this vehicle will routinely
encounter. There are a few things to remember when replacing
disc brake pads or performing brake system service to ensure
proper system function and maximum pad service life.
1. Optional pads are available to suit conditions in your area.
Select a pad to fit riding style and environment.
2. Do not over-fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
3. Make sure the brake pedal returns freely and completely.
4. Adjust stop pin on front caliper after pad service.
5. Check and adjust master cylinder reservoir fluid level after
pad service.
6. Make sure atmospheric vent on reservoir is unobstructed.
7. Test for brake drag after any brake system service and
investigate cause if brake drag is evident.
8. Make sure caliper moves freely on guide pins (where
applicable).
9. Inspect caliper piston seals for foreign material that could
prevent caliper pistons from returning freely.
10. Perform a brake burnishing procedure after installing new
pads to maximize service life.
11. DO NOT lubricate or clean the brake components with
aerosol or petroleum products. Use only approved
brake-cleaning products.
