Front/rear brake pad inspection
Check the brake pads for damage and wear.
If a brake pad thickness is less than 1 mm
(0.04 in), have a dealer replace the pads as
a set.

NOTE:
The wheels need to be removed to check
the brake pads. (See pages 8-34—8-35 for
removal and installation procedures.)
Brake fluid level checking
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly causing
the brakes to become ineffective.
Before riding, check to be sure the brake
fluid is above the minimum level and
replenish when necessary.
A low brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system leakage.
If the brake fluid level is low find the reason.
The rear brake fluid master cylinder
reservoir is located near the brake pedal.
