ROUTINE TESTING
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND BRAKE PAD
WEAR
Check that the level of brake fluid is
correct, if not, Check for brake pad wear.
If the pad material is less than 2mm thick,
the pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn out, top up the brake reservoir
with brake fluid.
(WARNING Brake fluid is corrosive and
will damage paintwork, if spilt wash off
with water immediately)
FRONT BRAKE
Pulling in the front brake lever operates the front brake by pumping brake fluid from the master cylinder
to the front brake calliper. The brake pads are pushed by the calliper pistons against the 260mm Front
disc. Slowing the bike down.
The braking surface of the disc should be free of oil and dirt to ensure maximum braking efficiency. If for
any reason the master cylinder is empty of brake fluid after checking for pad wear it should be topped
up as necessary. If there is air in the system the brakes will need to be bled.
