Both front and rear brakes are of the
hydraulic disc type.
As the brake pads wear. brake fluid level
drops, automatically compensating for
wear.
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.
NOTE:
• If the brake lever or pedal travel be-
come excessive and the friction pads are
not worn beyond the recommended
limit (page 79), there is probably air in
the brake system and it must be bled.
