16. MAINTENANCE

Front Brake

WARNING
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what is necessary and discard the rest. Do not
store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly
absorbs moisture from the air. This causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to
drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of serious injury.
The front brake is hydraulic disc brakes which is depressing the foot pedal on
the side of the right floorboard. These brakes are self-adjusting and require no
adjustment.
The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good
operating condition. How often they need checking depends upon the type of
driving that has been done.
 Keep fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs as described see
"7.Control and part functions". Normal functioning of the diaphragm is to
extend into the reservoir as fluid lever drops. If the fluid lever is low and the
diaphragm is not extended, a leak is indicated and the diaphragm should be
replaced. Always fill the reservoir as indicated whenever the cover is loosened
or removed to insure proper diaphragm operation. Use DOT 3 brake fluid.
 Check brake system for fluid leaks.
 Check brake for excessive travel
Or spongy feel.
 Check friction pads for wear,
damage and loosened.
 Check security and surface
condition of the disc.
 Pads should be changed whenfriction material is worn to 3/64"(1mm).(A)
