FRONT BRAKE PAD WEAR
●
Check to see if the pad out of the
standard. If the pad exceed the
breaking point, it may cause severe
injury or death due to reduced braking
efficiency and possible loss of braking
ability.

Visually check for fluid leaks or damage
and, using a spanner, check joints and
clamps for clearance.
Also, check hose and pipe protective parts
to see if they contact other parts when
turning the handle bars or due to vibration
when driving. (Bent, Distorted, Tear)
Brake pad wear depends upon the severity
of usage, the type of riding, and road
conditions. (Generally, the pads will wear
faster on wet and dirty roads.)
Inspect the pads at each regular
maintenance interval (page 30).
●
When adding brake fluid, be very
careful not to allow foreign materials
to enter the reserve tank.
Foreign materials can clog the
system, causing a reduction or
complete loss of braking ability.
●
Do not fill past upper level.
This can cause brake fluid to leak out
of the reserve tank.
●
Do not let brake fluid contact vehicle
parts as this damages painted areas.
If oil contacts parts, quickly clean
the fluid off using a dry cloth.
●
Use recommended brake fluid as
other types can undergo chemical
changes.
●
If brake fluid is exceedingly low,
this can be indication of damage to
the brake system.
●
A leak in the brake system can lead
to reduced braking efficiency and
possible loss of braking ability.
