If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
After installing the wheel, apply the
brake lever AND brake pedal several
times, then recheck both discs for
caliper holder to disc clearance. Do not
operate the motorcycle without
adequate clearance.
Check for free wheel rotation after
the brake lever and brake pedal are
released. Recheck the wheel if the
brake drags or if the wheel does not
rotate freely.
After installing the wheel, operate the
brake lever AND brake pedal several
times until you feel pressure. You
must restore pressure from BOTH the
lever AND the pedal because this
motorcycle is equipped with a Linked
Braking System.
Verify proper brake operation before
riding.
Remove the protective tapes from the
front wheel.
Visually check that the clearances
between each surface of the brake disc
and the brake bracket (not the brake
pads) are symmetrical.
