WARNING
After servicing the brakes, always
check them for function. If the stroke of
the lever or pedal is excessive, or if you
detect that the effectiveness of the
brakes is reduced in any way, have your
vehicle serviced by your Local
Dealer. It may be necessary to have
your dealer bleed the system, or there
may be some other problem with the
brake system.
Never ride your vehicle in traffic immedi-
ately after servicing the brakes.
Always apply the brake pedal or lever
several times before riding your vehicle.
Then, try your vehicle in a parking lot or
other safe area with little traffic to ensure
that the brakes are working properly.
Failure to observe this warning can lead
to a serious accident with subsequent se-
rious injury or death.
Check the wheel centering.
Have the tightening torques, centering
and balancing of the wheel checked by
your Local
Dealer. These are
critical safety operations, and failure to
observe this warning could lead to an
upset with subsequent serious injury or
death.
