Brake Hoses
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake
hoses for cracks or other damage. If
found, take the ATV to an authorized
dealer to have the brake hoses replaced.
Brake Pads
The clearance between the brake pads
and brake discs is adjusted automatically
as the brake pads wear. The only mainte-
nance that is required is replacement of
the brake pads when they show excessive
wear. Check the thickness of each of the
brake pads as follows:
1. Remove a front wheel.
2. Measure the thickness of each brake
pad.
3. If thickness of either brake pad fric-
tion material is less than 1.0 mm
(0.039 in.), take the ATV to an
authorized dealer to have brake pads
replaced.

4. Install the wheel; then using a criss-
cross pattern, tighten the wheel nuts
in 20 ft-lb increments to a final
torque of 40 ft-lb (steel wheel), 60
ft-lb (aluminum wheel w/black
nuts), or 80 ft-lb (aluminum wheel
w/chrome nuts).
Rear Foot Brake
The rear foot brake must be maintained
to be fully functional.
1. Check the brake fluid level in the
reservoir. The fluid level must be
maintained between the MAX and
MIN level marks. If the level in the
reservoir is low, add DOT 4 brake
fluid.

2. Press the rear foot brake several
times to check for firmness.
3. If the brake is not firm, the system
must be bled.
NOTE: Take the ATV to an autho-
rized dealer for this service.
Gas Hoses
Inspect the gas hoses. Damage from
aging may not always be visible.
Protective Rubber Boots
The protective boots should be inspected
periodically according to the Mainte-
nance Schedule.
