BRAKES
This motorcycle utilizes front and rear disk

are vital to safe riding. Be sure to perform
the brake inspection as scheduled.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Inspect your brake system for the following
items daily:
• Inspect the fluid level in the reservoirs.
• Inspect the front and rear brake system
for signs of fluid leakage.

cracked appearance.
• The brake lever and pedal should have
the proper stroke and be firm at all times.
• Check the wear of the disk brake pads.
BRAKE HOSE INSPECTION
Inspect the brake hoses and hose joints for
cracks, damage or brake fluid leakage. If
any defects are found, ask your Suzuki
dealer to replace the brake hose with a new
one.
