The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good
operating condition. How often they need checking depends upon the type of
driving that has been done.
 Keep fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs as described see
"7.Control and part functions". Normal functioning of the diaphragm is to
extend into the reservoir as fluid lever drops. If the fluid lever is low and the
diaphragm is not extended, a leak is indicated and the diaphragm should be
replaced. Always fill the reservoir as indicated whenever the cover is loosened
or removed to insure proper diaphragm operation. Use DOT 3 brake fluid.
 Check brake system for fluid leaks.
 Check brake for excessive travel
Or spongy feel.
 Check friction pads for wear,
damage and loosened.
 Check security and surface
condition of the disc.
 Pads should be changed whenfriction material is worn to 3/64"(1mm).(A)

Rear and Auxiliary Brake

Rear Brake

The rear brake is a hydraulic disc type brake which is activated by the same pedal which
activates the front brake system is self adjusting and requires no maintenance other than
periodic checks of the pads for wear
 Pads should be changed when the friction material is worn to 3/64"(1mm).
 Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear.

Auxiliary Brake Systems

Your ATV's auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the
main brake system. Should the main system fail, the rear brake can be
activated by the brake lever being moving toward the handlebar. The hydraulic
brake system will not require adjustment.
NOTE: Since this is a rear brake only, it will not be as effective as the all wheel
system
Checking

be checked for proper operation. The mechanical brake must be maintained to
