BRAKES
Front brake
WARNING
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what is necessary and discard the
rest. Do not store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is
hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. This causes the
boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake
fade and the possibility of serious injury.
The front brake is hydraulic disc brake system which is regulated by
depressing the brake pedal. These brakes are self-adjusting and require no
adjustment.
The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good
operating condition. How often they need checking depends upon the type of
driving that has been done.

Keep fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs. Normal functioning of the
diaphragm is to extend into the reservoir as fluid lever drops. If the fluid lever is
low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is indicated and the diaphragm
should be replaced. Always fill the reservoir as indicated whenever the cover
is loosened or removed to insure proper diaphragm operation. Use DOT 4
brake fluid.

Check brake system for fluid leaks.

Check brake for excessive travel
or spongy feel.

Check friction pads for wear,
damage and loosened.

Check condition and surface
of the brake disc.

Pads should be changed when
friction material is worn to 1 mm (A).
Rear Brake

The rear brake is a hydraulic disc type brake which is activated by the
same pedal which activates the front brake system is self adjusting and
requires no maintenance other than periodic checks of the pads for wear

Pads should be changed when the friction material is worn to 1 mm.

Inspect the brake disc and pad wear surface for excessive wear.
