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 77), there
is probably air in the brake system and it must
be bled. See your Honda dealer for this service.
Brake Fluid Level:
With the motorcycle in an upright position,
check the fluid level. It should be above the
LOWER level mark (1). If the level is at or
below the LOWER level mark (1), check the
brake pads for wear (page 80).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are
not worn, have your brake system inspected
for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda
DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container, or
an equivalent.
