MAEVING RM1S 2024 - Braking System

65
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Braking system
Operate the front and rear brakes, paying particular attention to the
amount of travel in each brake lever before the brake being operated
becomes fully applied. The brake levers must have sucient reserve
travel to allow each brake to be fully applied without the brake lever
coming into contact with the handlebar.
Make sure both brake fluid reservoirs contain sucient brake fluid
above the lower limit line. For further information, see Brake fluid
level inspection and adjustment on page 69.
WARNING: It is dangerous to ride your motorcycle with
defective brakes. Doing so may lead to an accident, causing
injury or death.
WARNING: If the brake levers feel spongy or soft, or there is
excessive brake lever travel, there may be air in the braking
system, or the braking system may be defective. Under
these conditions, it is dangerous to operate your motorcycle,
and the motorcycle should be inspected by the Maeving
Workshop Team, a Maeving Workshop Partner or a qualified
person or business with an extensive technical knowledge
of motorcycles to rectify the problem before riding your
motorcycle again. For further information, see Contacts on
page 6. Riding with defective brakes may lead to loss of
control, potentially causing injury or death.
WARNING: Inspect the braking system daily, checking for
brake fluid leakage at hose joints and around caliper seals.
Brake fluid leakage at these points could lead to loss of
control and an accident, causing injury or death. For further
information, see Daily safety checks on page 51.
WARNING: Inspect the brake hoses for damage and check for
any deterioration of the hoses daily. Damage or deterioration
of the hoses may cause dangerous riding conditions that
could lead to loss of control, potentially causing injury or
death. For further information, see Daily safety checks on
page 51.
Make sure the brake discs and pads are in a serviceable condition.
For further information, see Brake pad and brake disc wear
inspection on page 67.
WARNING: Riding with depleted brake fluid levels is very
dangerous and may cause a reduction in brake performance
or failure of the brakes. Depleted brake fluid levels may lead
to loss of control and an accident, causing injury or death.
WARNING: Never mix dierent brands, types or grades of
brake fluid. Doing so may aect braking eciency and lead to
an accident, causing injury or death.
WARNING: Never overfill the brake master cylinder reservoir
with brake fluid. Doing so may cause dangerous driving
conditions that could lead to loss of control and an accident,
causing injury or death.
NOTICE: When topping up the brake fluid, make sure you do
not spill or splash any brake fluid onto painted surfaces of the
motorcycle, as it can damage paintwork and other surfaces.
