Pre Operation Check List 5-3
Brake System
Brake levers and brake pedal
Check whether there is free travel in the front
brake lever, if not, adjust it.
Check whether there is free travel in the
brake pedal, if not, adjust it. (See pages
P8-31.)
Check the brake pedal height. If the pedal
height is incorrect, have a dealer adjust it.
Check the operation of the brake levers and
pedal. They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brakes are
applied. If they catch or feel spongy have a
dealer inspect the brake system.
Brake Pads
Check the brake pads for wear or damage
and check they are within limits. (See pages
P8-31)
Disc Brake Rotor
Check the disc brake rotors, which should be
within limits. (See pages P8-42-P8-43)
Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if
necessary. (See page P8-32-P33.)
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
Brake fluid leaks
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out
of the lines, connections or brake fluid
reservoirs. Apply the brakes firmly for one
minute. If the lever moves slowly inward,
there may be a leak in the brake system. If
there are any leaks, the brake system should
be inspected by a dealer.
