BRAKES
Front brake
WARNING
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what is necessary and discard the rest. Do
not store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it
rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. This causes the boiling temperature of the brake
fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possible serious injury.
Front brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, which are operated by depressing the brake pedal.
These brakes are self-adjusting and require no adjustment.
The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good condition. How
often they need checks depends on how hard you are driving.
 Keep fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs as described see “7. Control and part
functions”. Normal functioning of the diaphragm is to extend into the reservoir as fluid lever
drops. If the fluid lever is low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is indicated and the
diaphragm should be replaced. Always fill the reservoir as indicated whenever the cover is
loosened or removed to insure proper diaphragm operation. Use DOT 4 brake fluid.
 Check brake system for fluid leaks.
 Check brake for excessive travel or spongy feel.
 Check friction pads for wear, damage and looseness.
 Check security and surface condition of the disc.
 Pads should be changed when friction material
is worn to 1 mm (A).
Rear Brake
 The rear brake is a hydraulic disc type brake which is activated by the same pedal which
activates the front brake system is self adjusting and requires no maintenance other than
periodic checks of the pads for wear
 Pads should be changed when the friction material is worn to 1 mm.
 Inspect the brake disc and pad wear surface for excessive wear.
