Brakes

Front Brake
This motorcycle has a hydraulic front disc brake.
As the brake pads wear, brake fluid level drops. There
are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad
wear must be inspected periodically. The system must
be inspected frequently to ensure there are no fluid
leaks. If the control lever free travel becomes
excessive and the brake pads are not worn beyond the
recommended limit (page 61), there is probably air in
the brake system and it must be bled. See your Honda
dealer for this service.
Front Brake Fluid Level
With the motorcycle in an upright position, check the
fluid level. It should be above the lower level mark (1).
If the level is at or below the lower level mark (1),
check the brake pads for wear (page 61).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not
worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container, or an equivalent.
Other Checks
Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for
deterioration or cracks in the hoses and fittings.
