BRAKE SYSTEM
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes that
are activated by brake pedal or hand lever. Brakes are self-
adjusting. As the brake pads wear, brake fluid level will
be dropping slowly. Leakage in the brake system can also
cause the brake fluid to drop.
WARNING
!
Check brake fluid level periodically. Overfilling the
brake cylinder may cause brake drag or brake
locking, which may result in serious injury or
death. Keep brake fluid at the recommended
level, do not overfill. You must check brake pads
wear and brake disc condition regularly. If brake
pads or disc wear, they should be replaced.
The following inspection is recommended to keep the
braking system in good condition. If the brake is in heavy
use, check it more frequently.
1. Always keep the brake fluid at an correct level.
Please refer to master cylinder/brake fluid section
for details.
2. Check the braking system for leakage.
3. Check whether the brake travels too long or feels soft.
