MAJOR COMPONENTS
(Information you need to operate this motorcycle)
Brakes
Front Brake
This motorcycle has a hydraulic front disc brake.
As the brake pads wear, 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 brake lever free travel becomes
excessive and the brake pads are not worn beyond
the recommended limit (page 78), there is probably
air in the brake system and it must be bled. See your
Honda dealer for this service.
Brake Fluid Level
With the motorcycle 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,
check the brake pads for wear (page 78).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not
worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 from
a sealed container.
Do not mix different types of brake fluids, because
they are not compatible. (E.g.: DOT 4 with DOT 3).
Other Checks
Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for
deterioration or cracks in the hoses and fittings.
