Brakes MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by moving the single brake lever toward the handlebar. The auxiliary foot brake is also hydraulic. Both brake systems are self-adjusting. Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily during normal operation. 1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks. 2. Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel. 3. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. Replace pads when the friction material is worn to .03″ (.8 mm). 4. Check the security and surface condition of the disc. .03″ (.8 mm) 79

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, activated by
moving the single brake lever toward the handlebar. The auxiliary foot
brake is also hydraulic. Both brake systems are self-adjusting.
Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good
operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily
during normal operation.
1.
Check the brake system for
fluid leaks.
2.
Check the brakes for
excessive travel or spongy
feel.
3.
Check the friction pads for
wear, damage and
looseness. Replace pads
when the friction material is
worn to .03
(.8 mm).
4.
Check the security and
surface condition of the
disc.
