Rear Brake Pad Check - Hisun HS500 Owner's Manual

8-34 Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment

Rear brake pad check

Each brake pad is provided with wear
indicator grooves, which allow you to check
the brake pad wear without having to
disassemble the brake. To check the brake
pad wear, check the wear indicator grooves.
If a brake pad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator grooves have almost
disappeared, have a service center replace
the brake pads as a set.

Checking the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes to
become ineffective. Before riding, check that
the brake fluid is above the minimum level
mark and replenish if necessary.
1. Minimum level mark
A low brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to check
the brake pads for wear and the brake
system for leakage.
