HYDRAULIC BRAKE
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
Spilling brake fluid will severely damage instrument lenses and painted surface. It is also harmful to some rubber parts. Be careful
whenever you remove the reservoir cover; make sure the front reservoir is horizontal first.
• A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated pads and clean a contaminated disc with a
high quality brake degreasing agent.
• Check the brake system by applying the brake lever or pedal after the air bleeding.
• Never allow contaminates (dirt, water, etc.) to get into an open reservoir.
• Once the hydraulic system has been opened, or if the brake feels spongy, the system must be bled.
• Always use fresh DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container when servicing the system. Do not mix different types of fluid, they
may not be compatible.
• Always check brake operation before riding the motorcycle.
• This section covers service of the conventional brake components of the brake system. For Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
service (page 20-4).

Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.
• Avoid breathing dust particles.
• Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.
