PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS Before Starting the Engine Brakes Always check the following items for proper operation before starting the engine. Brake Lever Travel Squeeze the brake lever. It should move no closer to the handgrip than 1/2" (1.3 cm). A smaller distance indicates low brake fluid level or air in the hydraulic system. Refer to the brake bleeding information on page 121. 1/2" (1.3 cm) Brake Lever Feel If the brake lever feels "spongy" when squeezed, check the brake fluid level and condition. Add fluid as needed. See page 120. Check for the presence of air in the fluid system. See page 121 for more information, or see your dealer for service. WARNING! Continued use of "spongy" brakes may cause a complete loss of brakes, which could result in serious injury or death. Always have the brakes serviced at the first sign of sponginess. 69
