Brake pad check
Always check brake pedal travel and the brake fluid reservoir level before each use of the vehicle.
When applied, the brake pedal should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or
low brake fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. See page 52 for brake fluid information.
If you discover any irregularities in brake system operation, including excessive pedal travel,
contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
Check the brake pads for damage and wear.
If a brake pad thickness is less than 1.0 mm
(0.04 in), have your dealer replace the pads
as a set.
Brake Inspection
1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel
or a spongy feel.
3. Check the friction pads for wear, damage
and looseness.
4. Inspect the brake pad wear surface for
excessive wear.
5. Change pads when worn to 3/64" (1 mm).
