 WARNING
Failure to inspect and maintain the
brake pads and replace them when
recommended can increase your
chance of having an accident.
If you need to replace brake pads,
have your Suzuki dealer do this
work. Inspect and maintain the brake
pads as recommended.
 WARNING
If you ride this motorcycle after brake
system repair or brake pad replace-
ment without pumping the brake
lever/pedal, you may get poor brak-
ing performance 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 firm feel are 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.
