MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Tire Registration Form
In the event of a tire recall, we can only
contact you if we have your name and
address. As a vehicle manufacturer,
BRP keeps a record of the Tire Identi-
fication Number (TIN) associated with
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
(see
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
) and
its current owner information.
If you replace any tire on your vehi-
cle, a "Tire Registration Form" must be
completed and sent to the tire manu-
facturer consumer service group. The
“Tire Registration Form” is available at
an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer.
Brakes
WARNING
New brakes will not operate at
their maximum efficiency until
their break-in is completed. Brak-
ing performance may be reduced,
so use extra caution. Brakes take
about 300 km (200 mi) of riding
with frequent braking to break-in.
For riding with infrequent braking,
allow extra time to break-in the
brakes.
Verifying the Brake Fluid Level
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a
sealed container.
Check the brake fluid level as follows:
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level sur-
face.
2. Unlatch and lift the seat
