Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level. See page 29. 2. Check the brake system for fluid leaks. 3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel. 4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. Replace brake pads when they are worn to .03" (0.762 mm). 5. Check the security and surface .03" (0.762 mm) condition of the disc.
