If the brake fluid needs to be added, but the type
and brand of brake fluid in the brake fluid
reservoir
cannot be confirmed, all the brake
fluid in the brake fluid pipe must be replaced.
After replac
ing the brake fluid, only use the
brake fluid of the same type and brand.
When adding the brake fluid, be careful not to
allow water to enter the reservoir
. Water will
significantly reduce the boiling point of the
brake fluid and the steam bubbles will produce
when heated, which will make the performance
of braking system reduce.
Recommended Disc Brake Fluid
Grade:DOT4
Checking Wear of Brake Pad
●Remove the brake pad (see “Disassembling Front
Wheel/Rear Wheel Brake Pad” in “Brake” Chapter).
●Check the friction plate thickness [A] of the brake pad
inside the calipers.
★
If the friction plate thickness of any brake pad is
lower than the use limit [B], replace the two brake pads
inside the calipers simultaneously.
Thickness of Brake Pad
Standard:
Front wheel brake pad: 4.0 mm
Rear wheel brake pad: 6.8 mm
Use limit: 1 mm
Checking Brake Light Switch
●Open the electric door lock.
●when the brake handle is hold tight to 20mm or
the brake pedal is pressed about 25mm, the
brake light shall be on.
★
If the
brake light is not on, check or replace the
following parts:
Battery (see “Checking Charging Situation” in
“Electrical System”);
Brake light (see “Disassembling Taillight/Brake Light”
in “Electrical System” chapter);
30A main fuse and 10A Taillight fuse (see “Checking
Fuse” in “Electrical System” chapter);
Front brake light switch [A] (see “Checking Switch” in
“Electrical System” chapter);
Rear brake light switch (see “Checking Switch” in
“Electrical System” chapter);
Wire harness (see “Checking Circuit” in “Electrical
System” chapter)
