BASIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURESBASIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Both the front and rear brakes are the hydraulic oil disc type. As the brake pads wear out, the brake uid level

will drop. A leak in the system will also cause the level to drop. Frequently inspect the system to ensure there are

no uid leaks. Periodically inspect the brake uid level and the brake pads for wear. If the braking response of

the front brake lever or rear pedal feels unusual, check the brake pads. If the brake pads are not worn beyond the

recommended limits, there is probably air in the brake system. Refer to your local

EGL MotorEGL Motor dealer to have the

air bled from the system.

With the motorcycle in the upright position check the brake

uid level. It should be above the indicator mark (A)(A) on

the master cylinder. If the level is below themark, check the

brake pads for wear. Worn out pads should be replaced. If
