Before Starting the Engine
n Brakes
Always check the following items for proper operation before starting
the engine.

Brake Lever Travel

Squeeze the brake lever. It
should move no closer to the
handgrip than 1/2" (1.3 cm).
A smaller distance indicates
low brake fluid level or air in
the hydraulic system. Refer
to the brake bleeding infor-
mation on page 117.

Brake Lever Feel

If the brake lever feels "spongy" when squeezed, check the brake fluid
level and condition. Add fluid as needed. See page 116.
Check for the presence of air in the fluid system. See page 117 for more
information, or see your dealer for service.
Continued use of "spongy" brakes may cause a complete loss of brakes,
which could result in serious injury or death. Always have the brakes serviced
at the first sign of sponginess.
