BRAKE PADS
FRONT
REAR
Inspect the front and rear brake pads
by noting whether or not the friction
pads are worn down to the grooved
wear limit line 1. If a front or rear pad
is worn to the grooved wear limit line
both front or both rear pads must be
replaced with new ones by your
authorized Suzuki dealer or qualified
service mechanic.
NOTE: After replacing either the front
or rear brake pads, the brake lever or
pedal must be pumped several times.
This will extend the pads to their
proper position.
 WARNING
Failure to inspect and maintain the
brake pads and replace them
when recommended can increase
your chance of having an acci-
dent.
If you need to replace brake pads,
have your Suzuki dealer do this
work. Inspect and maintain the
brake pads as recommended.
 WARNING
If you ride this motorcycle after
brake system repair or brake pad
replacement without pumping the
brake lever/pedal, you may get
poor braking performance which
could result in an accident.
After brake system repair or brake
pad replacement, pump the brake
lever/pedal several times until
brake pads are pressed against
the brake disks and proper lever/
pedal stroke and firm feel are
restored.
