Brakes
The front and rear brakes are applied by squeezing the left side brake
lever toward the handlebar. The front and rear brakes are hydraulically
activated disc type brakes which are activated by one lever only.
Always test brake lever travel and reservoir fluid level before riding.
When squeezed, the lever should feel firm. Any sponginess would
indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level which
must be corrected before riding. Contact your dealer for proper
diagnosis and repairs.
Never operate the ATV with a spongy feeling brake lever.
Operating the ATV with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of
braking. Loss of braking could cause an accident.
