Front Brake Pads
Inspect the front brake pads as fol-
lows.
1. Inspect the brake pads to see if
they are worn down to the
grooved wear limit line.
2. If you find that the pads are worn
to the grooved wear limit line,
bring the vehicle to your autho-
rized Suzuki dealer to have the
brake pads replaced.
After inspecting or replacing a brake
pads, reinstall the front wheel as
described in the FRONT AND REAR
WHEEL REMOVAL section.
 WARNING
Failure to maintain the brake pads
and replace them when recom-
mended can be hazardous.
Riding with unevenly worn brake
pads will increase your chances 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
Riding this ATV after brake system
repair or brake pad replacement
without pumping the brake lever
can be hazardous.
If you do not pump the brake lever
before starting, you can not get
enough braking performance and
may result in an accident.
Pump the brake lever several
times until brake pads are pressed
against the brake disks and
proper lever stroke and firm feel
are restored.
 WARNING
Replacing only one of the two
brake pads can be hazardous.
Replacing only one brake pad can
result in uneven braking action.
Replace both pads together.
