BRAKE SYSTEM
BRAKE FLUID INSPECTION
Always check the brake lever travel and inspect the brake fluid
reservoir level before each operation. If the fluid level is low,
add DOT 4 brake fluid only.
Brake fluid should be changed every two years. The fluid
should also be changed anytime the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum level, or if
the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir is unknown.
1. Position the scooter on a level surface.
2. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should
be between the MAX and MIN level lines.
4. If the fluid level is lower than the MIN level line, add brake
fluid until it reaches the MAX level line.
5. Install the reservoir cap and apply the brake lever forcefully
for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the
master cylinder fittings and the brake caliper fittings.
BRAKE PAD / DISC INSPECTION
1. Check the brake pads for wear, damage, or looseness.
2. Inspect the brake pad wear surface for excessive wear.
3. Pads should be changed when the friction material is worn
to 1 mm.
4. Check surface condition of the brake discs.
5. Measure the thickness of the front and rear brake discs.
6. The disc(s) should be replaced if thickness is less than 4mm
rear disc and 3.5mm front disc.
BRAKE HOSE AND FITTING INSPECTION
Check brake system hoses and fittings for cracks,
deterioration, abrasion, and leaks. Tighten any loose fittings
and replace any worn or damaged parts.
