BRAKE PADS LEVEL OF REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL OF FRONT BRAKE FLUID
12 - Braking system
To ensure optimal braking you need to check the
condition of the brake pads. Initially the pad indi-
cator groove is normally around 3mm. If after use
you nd this has been reduced to below 2mm, they
need to be replaced.
To replace them you need to remove the brake ca-
lliper from the fork tube, taking out the bolts and
the wire clip that you can remove from underneath.
For reassembly you will need to lever the pistons
back with a screwdriver. Then make sure the bolts
and the wire pin clip are tight.
To check the rear brake oil level, we can view from the
rear side of the bike. We must keep the level above the
indicator line.
The oil reservoir can be accessed by removing the
exhaust and unscrew the bolts from cover reservoir, ta-
king care not to spill brake uid outside of it since it is
very corrosive.
At the rear of the front brake pump you can check
the uid level, and replenish it to the correct level
with brake uid NILS DOT-4.
