Brakes
Your motorcycle uses a front hydraulic disk brake and a rear drum
brake.
Hydraulic Liquid Front Brake
The brake fluid will drop as the brake pads wear or if there is a leak.
To ensure there are no leaks, often check the brake system. You
should also check the brake pads for wear and the brake fluid level.
If you feel abnormal free play in the brake lever, check for wear on
the brake pads. If you discover the brake pads to be worn you should
replace immediately. If the pads are still in good condition there may
be air in the brake system. You will need to bleed the brakes, visit
your local Service Center for help.
Brake Fluid Recommendation
We recommended that you use DOT3 brake fluid or any brake fluid
of the same quality. Always use a fresh, new container of brake fluid,
never use an opened container that may be contaminated.
Brake Fluid Level Inspection
1) Park your motorcycle on level ground in an upright position.
2) Check the fluid level. It should be above the lower mark, if not,
check for wear on the brakes. If the pads are worn, replace immedi-
ately. Have your local Service Center do this.
