CHECKING THE BRAKE OPERATION
1. Check:
• Brake operation
Brake not working properly
→
Check the
brake system.
Refer to “FRONT BRAKE” on page 4-26 and
“REAR BRAKE” on page 4-38.
TIP
Drive on the dry road, operate the front and rear
brake separately and check to see if the brakes
are operating properly.
CHECKING THE BRAKE LEVER FREE PLAY
There should be no free play at the brake lever
end “1”. If there is free play, inspect the brake
system.
WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever
can indicate the presence of air in the hy-
draulic system. If there is air in the hydraulic
system, bleed the system before operating
the vehicle. Air in the hydraulic system will
diminish the braking performance, which
may result in loss of control and an accident.

CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
TIP
• Place the vehicle on a maintenance stand.
• Make sure the vehicle is upright.
2. Check:
• Brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark “1”
→
Add the
specified brake fluid to the proper level.
WARNING
EWA13090
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction,
leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
NOTICE
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
TIP
In order to ensure a correct reading of the brake
fluid level, make sure the top of the brake fluid
reservoir is horizontal.
