Front Brake; Rear Brake - Honda 954 Service Manual

MAINTENANCE
Make sure the pins are staked properly by measuring
the diameter of the staked area using a slide caliper.
DIAMETER OF THE STAKED AREA:
DID: 5.50
RK:
After staking, check the staked area of the master link
A drive with
chain
for cracks.
a dip-type master
If there is any cracking, replace the master link, 0-
rings and plate.
BRAKE FLUID
Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are not
compatible with each other.
Do not allow foreign material to enter the system
when filling the reservoir.
Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber
parts. Place a rag over these parts whenever the
system is serviced.
When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads for
wear (page 3-25). A low fluid level may be due t o
wear of the brake pads. If the brake pads are worn,
the caliper piston is pushed out, and this accounts for
a l o w reservoir level. If the brake pads are not w o r n
and the fluid level is low, check entire system for leaks
(page 3-25).

FRONT BRAKE

Turn the handlebar so the reservoir is level and check
the front brake fluid reservoir level.
If the level is near the lower level line, check the brake
pad wear (page 3-25).

REAR BRAKE

Place the motorcycle on a level surface, and support it
in an upright position.
Check the rear brake fluid reservoir level.
If the level is near the lower level line, check the brake
pad wear (page 3-25).
