BRAKES
Front Brake
This motorcycle has a hydraulic disk front brake.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level will drop.
Therefore, the brake fluid level and pad wear must be
inspected periodically. The system must be inspected
frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks. If the
control lever or pedal free travel becomes excessive
and the brake pads are not worn beyond the recommended
limit (page 77), there is probebly air in the brake system
and it must be bled. See your authorized Honda dealer
for this service.
Brake Fluid Level:
• Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or
eyes. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and
call a doctor if you eyes were exposed.
Brake fluid must be added to the reservoir whenever the fluid
level begins to reach the lower level mark.
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID from a sealed
container up to the upper level mark. Reinstall the removed parts
in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the screws securely.
