General Maintenance
Brakes
This section describes how to maintain the brake system of your
Zero S/SR/DS/DSR motorcycle. It covers the ABS (Anti-lock
Brake System), brake pad examples (specific brake pads for
front and rear are shown), and maintaining brake fluid levels and
types for front and rear systems.
Bleeding the Brake System
Your motorcycle is equipped with ABS. You can only bleed the
brake system if fluid still remains in the HCU (Hydraulic Control
Unit).
Bleeding a dry HCU requires an evacuation and fluid fill
machine.
Brake Fluid Level Inspection
CAUTION: Do not spill brake fluid on painted surfaces; the
finish could be damaged. Spilling brake fluid on the body panels
will cause them to crack.
Always place a shop towel under the master cylinder reservoir
prior to removing cover/cap.
Low fluid levels may indicate worn brake pads or a leak in the
hydraulic system. Inspect the brake pads for wear and/or the
hydraulic system for leaks. Use only new DOT 4 brake fluid from
a sealed container.
Front Brake Fluid Reservoir
Inspect the level of the front brake
fluid, visible through the reservoir
(C). If the fluid level is visibly
below the
MIN level mark (B),
brake fluid must be added. Clean
any dirt or debris from the cover
(A) before opening the reservoir.
Note: The motorcycle should be in
an upright position prior to
checking fluid level.
Clean off any brake fluid spills immediately.
1. Remove the two screws securing the cover onto the
reservoir.
2. Add new DOT 4 brake fluid.
3. Inspect the cover seal, ensuring that it is free of any wear or
damage and that it is positioned correctly.
4. Install the reservoir cover screws. Torque - 0.7 ft lb (0.9 Nm).
