If You Have a Flat Tire
To avoid damage to the brake hose
during removal, support the caliper
assembly so that it doesn't hang from
the hose. Do not twist the brake hose.
Avoid getting grease, oil, or dirt on the
disc or pad surfaces. Any contamination
can cause poor brake performance or
rapid pad wear after reassembly.
Avoid depressing the brake lever when
the caliper is off the motorcycle. This
will force the caliper pistons out of the
cylinders. The result will be loss of
brake fluid. If this occurs, the brake
system will require service. See your
Honda dealer for this service.
