Pre-Ride Inspection
20
Perform a pre-ride inspection prior to every ride.
Rear Brake Fluid
Check all joints along the brake hose for any fluid
leaking from the joint or the brake cylinder. Leakage
has occurred if you see wet or oxidized fluid sludge.
Check brake fluid level sight glass at base of lever to
determine brake fluid level.
Fluid should be above the
bottom half of the sight
glass.
Add brake fluid if
necessary.
Brake Fluid specification: DOT4
Rear Brake Disc and Pads
Inspect the brake disc for wear, glazing and/or warping.
Inspect the brake pads to ensure the pad thickness is
not beyond the wear limit.
Brake Pad Wear Limit: 2mm
If the brake pad wears entirely before replacement,
damage to the disc and loss of braking ability can occur.
