MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
145
Brake fluid change
Complete fluid replacement should be done only by trained
service personnel. Have your dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or when they are
damaged or leaking.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years.
Front lever free play
The front brake lever should have a free play of 10 mm (0.4
in) at the lever end. If not, have your dealer check the brake
system.
DANGER (After servicing):
• Make sure the brakes operate smoothly and that the free
play is correct.
• Make sure the brakes do not drag. Make sure the brakes
are not spongy.
• All air must be bled from the brake system. Servicing
of brake components requires professional knowledge.
These procedures should be performed by your dealer.
