MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
•
There should be 2
∼
10 mm (0.08
∼
0.39 in.) of
free play.
A. Brake Pedal
B. 2
∼
10 mm (0.08
∼
0.39 in.)
•
If the brake pedal has more or less free play
than specified or the pedal action feels rough or
“catchy,” have the brake system inspected imme-
diately by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
Brake Fluid
In accordance with the Periodic Maintenance
Chart, inspect the brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir and change the brake fluid. The brake fluid
should also be changed if it becomes contaminated
with dirt or water.
Fluid Requirement
Use heavy-duty brake fluid only from a fresh, un-
opened container marked DOT4.
WARNING
Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture,
lowering its boiling point and reducing brake
effectiveness. Do not use fluid from a con-
tainer that has been left unsealed or that
has been open for a long time. Do not mix
two types and brands of fluid for use in the
brakes. Don’t leave the reservoir cap off for
any length of time to avoid moisture con-
tamination of the fluid. Don’t add or change
brake fluid in the rain or during conditions
of blowing dust or debris.
NOTICE
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces.
Wipe up any spilled fluid immediately.
Fluid Level Inspection
•
With the vehicle on level ground, check through
the cover that the fluid level in the reservoir is be-
tween the upper (marked MAX) and lower (marked
MIN) level lines.
