Brake Pads
Riding with worn brake pads
wil reduce braking perfor-
mance and wil. increase your
chance of
having an accident.
Inspect brake pad wear before
each use. Ask your SUZUKI
dealer or qualiied mechanic to
replace brake pads if any pad
is worn to the limit.
-AWARNING
Failure to extend brake pads
after repair or replacement can
cause poor braking perfor-
mance and may result in an
accident.
Inspect the front brake pads to
see if they are worn down to the
grooved wear limit lines CD. If a
pad is worn to the grooved wear
limit line, it must be replaced with
a new one. After replacing the
front brake pads, the brake lever
must be pumped several times.
This will extend the pads to their
proper position.
Before riding, "pump" the
brake repeatedly
until brake
pads are pressed against the
brake disk and proper leverl
pedal stroke and firm feel are
restored.
NOTE: Do not squeeze/depress
the brake lever/pedal when the
pads are not in their positions. It is
difficult to push the pistons back
into positon.
