BRAKES

Inspect brake pads for wear at service intervals. If
you ride under adverse conditions (steep hills, heavy
traffic, etc.), inspect more frequently. Excessively
worn out brake pads can lead to brake failure, which
could result in death or serious injury.
The brake system needs routine inspections and mainte-
nance at certain levels. Refer to Table 26 for more infor-
mation.
Brakes are a critical safety component. Contact an
EBR dealer for brake repair or replacement. Im-
properly serviced brakes can adversely affect brake
performance, which could result in death or serious
injury.
