FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
WARNING
• Use only the designated quality brake
fluid: other brake fluids may deteriorate
the rubber seals, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid:
mixing brake fluids may result in a harm-
ful chemical reaction and lead to poor
brake performance.
• Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
brake fluid and may result in vapor lock.
3. Air bleed:
• brake system
Refer to "BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM" in chapter 3.
4. Check:
• brake fluid level
Brake fluid level is below the "LOWER" level
→
line Add the recommended brake fluid to
the proper level.
Refer to "CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL" in chapter 3.
5. Adjust:
• parking brake cable end length
Refer to "ADJUSTING THE PARKING
BRAKE" in chapter 3.
NOTICE
Disc brake components rarely require dis-
assembly.
DO NOT:
• disassemble components unless abso-
lutely necessary;
• use solvents on internal brake components;
• use spent brake fluid for cleaning; (use
only clean brake fluid)
• allow brake fluid to come in contact with
the eyes, as this may cause eye injury;
• splash brake fluid onto painted surfaces
or plastic parts, as this may cause damage;
• disconnect any hydraulic connection, as
this would require the entire brake system
to be disassembled, drained, cleaned,
properly filled and bled after reassembly.
