General Maintenance

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).
