Fluid Level Inspection - Honda 2009 CRF450X Owner's Manual & Competition Handbook

Fluid Level Inspection

Front Brake Fluid Level Check
(1)
(1) LWR mark
With the motorcycle in an upright position, check
the fluid level.
It should be above the LWR mark (1). If the level
is at or below the LWR mark, check the brake
pads for wear (page 91).
Worn brake pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn, have your brake system inspected
for leaks.
If the brake lever freeplay exceeds 20 mm
(0.8 in), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. Refer to the Honda
Shop Manual or see your Honda dealer for brake
bleeding.
Rear Brake Fluid Level Check
(1)
(1) LOWER mark
With the motorcycle in an upright position, check
the fluid level.
It should be above the LOWER mark (1). If the
level is at or below the LOWER mark, check the
brake pads for wear (page 91).
Worn brake pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn, have your brake system inspected
for leaks.
If the brake pedal freeplay exceeds 20 mm
(0.8 in), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. Refer to the Honda
Shop Manual or see your Honda dealer for brake
bleeding.
