Brakes - Baja motorsports Phoenix 250 Owner's Manual

Brakes

Your motorcycle uses a front hydraulic disk brake and a rear
drum brake.
Hydraulic Liquid Front Brake
The brake fluid will drop as the brake pads wear or if there is a
leak. To ensure there are no leaks, often check the brake system.
You should also check the brake pads for wear and the brake
fluid level. If you feel abnormal free play in the brake lever, check
for wear on the brake pads. If you discover the brake pads to be
worn you should replace immediately. If the pads are still in good
condition there may be air in the brake system. You will need to
bleed the brakes, visit your local Service Center for help.
Brake Fluid Recommendation
We recommended that you use DOT3 brake fluid or any brake
fluid of the same quality. Always use a fresh, new container
of brake fluid, never use an opened container that may be
contaminated.
Brake Fluid DOT 3
Brake Fluid Level Inspection
1) Park your motorcycle on level ground in an upright position.
2) Check the fluid level. It should be above the lower mark, if not,
check for wear on the brakes. If the pads are worn, replace im-
mediately. Have your local Service Center do this.
