Brake Pads
Inspect the front brake pads to
see if they are worn down to the
grooved wear limit lines 1. 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.
NOTE: Do not squeeze the brake
lever when the pads are not in
their positions. It is difficult to
push the pistons back into posi-
tion.
WARNING
Riding with worn brake pads
will reduce braking perfor-
mance and will increase your
chance of having an accident.
Inspect brake pad wear before
each use. Ask your SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified mechanic
to replace brake pads if any
pad is worn to the limit.
WARNING
Failure to extend brake pads
after repair or replacement can
cause poor braking perfor-
mance and may result in an
accident.
Before riding, “pump” the
brake repeatedly until brake
pads are pressed against the
brake disk and proper lever
stroke and firm feel are
restored.
