Hydraulic Brakes

n
Always check the
following items to assure
proper operation before
starting the engine.
Brake Lever Travel
Squeeze the brake lever.
It should move no closer
to the handgrip than 1/2"
(1.3 cm). A smaller
distance indicates low brake fluid level or air in the hydraulic system.
Refer to the brake bleeding information on page 80.
Lever Feel
If the brake lever feels "spongy" when squeezed, check the brake fluid
level and condition. Add fluid as needed. See page 79.
Check for the presence of air in the fluid system. See page 80 for more
information, or see your dealer for service.
WARNING
Continued use of "spongy" brakes may cause a complete loss of brakes,
which could result in serious injury or death. Always have the brakes
serviced at the first sign of sponginess.
