(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 control lever free travel becomes excessive and
the brake pads are not worn beyond the recommended
limit (page 59), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. See your Honda dealer for
this service.
Front Brake Fluid Level
With the motorcycle in an upright position, check the
fluid level. It should be above the LOWER level mark
(1). Fill the reservoir with the recommended fluid
whenever the level is close to the lower level mark.
Remove the screws (2), reservoir cap (3), plate (4) and
diaphragm (5). Fill the reservoir with the recommended
brake fluid up to the upper level mark (6). Reinstall the
diaphragm, plate and reservoir cap, tightening the
screws firmly.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container, or an equivalent.
