Inspection
Both the front and rear brakes are the
hydraulic disc types.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level
drops.
There are no adjustments to perform, but
fluid level and pad wear must be inspected
periodically. The system must be inspected
frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If the control lever free travel becomes
excessive, and the brake pads are not worn
beyond the recommended limit (page 103-
104), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. See your
Honda dealer for this service.
Front Brake Fluid Level
With the scooter in an upright position,
check the fluid level. It should be above the
LOWER level mark (1). If the level is at or
below the LOWER level mark (1), check the
brake pads for wear (page 103-104).
Worn pads must be replaced.
If the pads are not worn, have your brake
system inspected for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda
DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container,
or an equivalent.
