General Maintenance
6.11
Rear Brake Fluid Reservoir
Inspect the level of the rear brake fluid by inspecting the level
through the reservoir housing. The reservoir housing is located
inboard on the frame behind the heel guard. If the fluid level is
visibly below the low minimum MIN indicator (C), brake fluid
must be added until level reaches the upper MAX indicator (B).
Do not overfill.
Note: The motorcycle should be in an upright position prior to
checking fluid level.
Clean any dirt or debris from the cap and reservoir opening (A)
before opening the reservoir. Unscrew the cap and add new
DOT 4 brake fluid. Inspect the cap seal ensuring that it is free of
any wear or damage then reinstall the cap.
Brake Pad Inspection
The brake pads must be inspected when specified in the
maintenance schedule, see page 6.2. Visually inspect the brakes
by looking at the remaining brake pad material through the sides
of the brake caliper.
Replace the brake pads if either pad’s thickness is 0.05 in (1.35
mm) or less. If the brake pads (A) are worn, replace both brake
pads immediately.
Brake Disc Inspection
The thickness of the brake discs should be checked regularly.
The minimum thickness is 0.15 in (3.85 mm).
