BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE NOTES
Disc brake systems are light weight, low maintenance,
and perform well in the conditions this vehicle will
routinely encounter. There are a few things to remember
when replacing disc brake pads or performing brake
system service to ensure proper system function and
maximum pad service life.
• Optional pads are available to suit conditions in
your area. Select a pad to fit riding style and
environment.
• DO NOT over-fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
• Make sure the brake pedal returns freely and
completely.
• Adjust stop pin on front caliper after pad service.
• Check and adjust master cylinder reservoir fluid
level after pad service.
• Make sure atmospheric vent on reservoir is
unobstructed.
• Test for brake drag after any brake system service
and investigate cause if brake drag is evident.
• Make sure caliper moves freely on guide pins
(where applicable).
• Inspect caliper piston seals for foreign material
that could prevent caliper pistons from returning
freely.
• Perform a brake burnishing procedure after
installing new pads to maximize service life.
• DO NOT lubricate or clean the brake components
with aerosol or petroleum products. Use only
approved brake cleaning products.
