BRAKE INSPECTION
1. Check the brake system for fluid
leaks.
2. Check the brake pedal for
excessive travel or a spongy feel.
3. Check the friction pads for wear,
damage and looseness.
4. Check brake discs for signs of
cracks, excessive corrosion,
warping or other damage. Clean
any grease using an approved
brake cleaner or alcohol.

pad wear surface for excessive

SUSPENSION SETTINGS (EPS)
FRONT/REAR SPRING PRELOAD (EPS)
The front and rear suspensions are preload adjustable, with five possible
settings. The suspensions are set on the lowest setting at the factory. The
factory setting is appropriate for nearly all riding conditions.
If desired, the suspension may be adjusted to maintain vehicle clearance height
when carrying loads.
Always heed the following rules if you make adjustments to
this suspension.
• Always return the suspension to the lowest setting after the load is removed
from the vehicle. The increased suspension height will negatively impact
vehicle stability when operating without a load.
• Always apply the same adjustment setting to
all four wheels .
Adjust the front and rear shock springs by rotating the adjustment cam either
clockwise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease spring tension.
Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum product to brake discs. These types of
products are flammable and may also reduce the friction between the brake
pad and caliper.
