 WARNING
If you ride this motorcycle after
brake system repair or brake
pad replacement
pumping the brake lever/pedal,
you may get poor braking per-
formance which could result in
an accident.
After brake system repair or
brake pad replacement, pump
the brake lever/pedal several
times until brake pads are
pressed against the brake
disks and proper lever/pedal
stroke and
restored.
NOTE: Do not squeeze/depress
the brake lever/pedal when the
pads are not in their positions. It is
difficult to push the pistons back
into position.
 WARNING
Replacing only one of the two
brake pads can result in
uneven braking action and can
increase your chance of having
an accident.
Always replace both pads
together.
