NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
reservoir very closely to make sure there is always
a sufficient amount of brake fluid. When the level
falls below MIN, refill the reservoir before the
bleeding procedure is continued. Failure to main-
tain a sufficient amount of fluid in the reservoir will
result in air in the system.
D. At this point, perform steps B and C on the
other FRONT bleeder screw; then move to
the REAR bleeder screw and follow the same
procedure.
E. Repeat steps B and C until the brake pedal is
firm.
4. Carefully check the entire hydraulic brake sys-
tem that all hose connections are tight, the bleed
screws are tight, the protective caps are
installed, and no leakage is present.
INSPECTING HOSES
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake hoses for
cracks or other damage. If found, the brake hoses
must be replaced.
CHECKING/REPLACING PADS
The clearance between the brake pads and brake
discs is adjusted automatically as the brake pads
wear. The only maintenance that is required is
replacement of the brake pads when they show
excessive wear. Check the thickness of each of the
brake pads as follows.
1. Remove a front wheel.
2. Measure the thickness of each brake pad.
PR376A
3. If thickness of either brake pad is less than 1.0
mm (0.039 in.), the brake pads must be replaced.
NOTE: The brake pads should be replaced as a
set.
4. To replace the brake pads, use the following pro-
cedure.
A. Remove the wheel.
B. Remove the cap screws securing the caliper
holder to the knuckle; then remove the pads
from the caliper.
PR237
C. Install the new brake pads.
D. Secure the caliper holder to the knuckle with
the cap screws. Tighten to specifications (see
Section 10).

! CAUTION
This hydraulic brake system is designed to use DOT
4 brake fluid only. If brake fluid must be added, care
must be taken as brake fluid is very corrosive to
painted surfaces.
