Brake Pads
Inspect the front brake pads to
see if they are worn down to the
grooved wear limit lines
1
. If a
pad is worn to the grooved wear
limit line, it must be replaced with
a new one. After replacing the
front brake pads, the brake lever
must be pumped several times.
This will extend the pads to their
proper position.

WARNING
Failure to inspect and maintain
the brake pads and replace
them when recommended can
increase your chance of having
an accident.
If you need to replace brake
pads, have your Suzuki dealer
do this work. Inspect and main-
tain the brake pads as recom-
mended.

WARNING
If you ride this motorcycle after
brake system repair or brake
pad replacement without
pumping the brake lever, you
may get poor braking perfor-
mance which could result in an
accident.
After brake system repair or
brake pad replacement, pump
the brake lever several times
until brake pads are pressed
against the brake disks and
proper lever stroke and firm
feel are restored.
