Front brake adjustment

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever can indicate the

presence of air in the brake system. This air must be

removed by bleeding the brake system before the

motorcycle is operated. Air in the brake system will

considerably reduce braking performance and could result

in a loss of control and possibly an accident. Inspect and if

necessary, bleed the brake system.
