Pre Operation Checks 5-3
Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of
the hydraulic brake lines, fittings, or the brake
fluid reservoir. Apply the brakes firmly for one
minute. If there is any leakage, have the vehicle
inspected by a service center.
Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting out
to make sure they are working properly. If the
brakes do not provide proper braking
performance, inspect the brake system. (See
pages 8-33 - 8-37.)
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Driving with improperly operating brakes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You could lose braking ability which could
lead to an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always check the brakes at the start of
every ride. Do not operate the vehicle if you
find any problem with the brakes. If a
problem cannot be corrected by the
adjustment procedures provided in this
manual, have the vehicle inspected by a
service center.
