Checking the front and rear
brake pads
1. Wear limit
The front and rear brake pads must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. To check the
brake pad wear, measure the lining
EWA10640
thickness. If the lining thickness is
less than 0,5 mm (0,02 in), have a

Checking the brake fluid
level
Rear
1. Minimum level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.
