Front and rear brakes
Brake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the brake
pedal. If there is free play, have a BMS dealer
check the brake system. (See Chapter 8)
Check the operation of the brake pedal. It
should move smoothly and there should be a
firm feeling when the brakes are applied. If not,
have the vehicle inspected by a BMS dealer.
Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if neces-
sary. (See Chapter 8.)
Specified brake fluid: DOT 4
Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of
the pipe joints or the brake fluid reservoir. Ap-
ply the brakes firmly for one minute. If there is
any leakage, have the vehicle inspected by a
BMS dealer.
Brake operation
Check the operation of the brakes at the start
of every ride. Test the brakes at slow speed af-
ter starting out to make sure they are working
properly. If the brakes do not provide proper
braking performance, inspect the brake system.
