Checking the parking brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with two wear indi-
cator grooves, which allow you to check the
brake pad wear without having to disassemble
the brake. To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator grooves. If a brake pad has
worn to a wear indicator groove, have a BMS
dealer replace the brake pads as a set.
Checking the brake fluid level
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the
hood.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark. Check the
brake fluid level with the top of the reservoir
level. Replenish the brake fluid if necessary.
Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability. Observe these precautions:
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, reducing braking
performance.
Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer.
Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.
