BRAKE INSPECTION

WARNING

Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum product to brake discs. These types of

products are flammable and may also reduce the friction between the brake

pad and caliper.

1. Check the brake system for fluid

leaks.

2. Check the brake pedal for

excessive travel or a spongy feel.

3. Check the friction pads for wear,

damage and looseness.

4. Check brake discs for signs of

cracks, excessive corrosion,
warping or other damage. Clean
any grease using an approved
brake cleaner or alcohol.

5. Inspect the brake disc spline and

pad wear surface

for excessive

wear. Change pads when worn to
0.030" (0.762 mm).
