Brakes - Honda TRX FOURTRAX FOREMAN RUBICON 2019 Owner's Manual

Brakes

The hydraulic disc brakes (front) and a single hydraulic/mechanical
disc brake (rear) on your ATV dissipate the heat generated by the
friction of the brake pads on the disc as the wheels are slowed.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level will drop. A leak in the
system will also cause the level to drop.
There are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear
must be inspected periodically. The system must be inspected
frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If the brake lever or brake pedal freeplay does not feel within the
normal range while riding, check the brake pads for wear
(page 169).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not worn beyond the
recommended limit, there is probably air in the brake system. See
your dealer to have the air bled from the system.
Brake Fluid Recommendation
brake fluid Honda DOT 4 Brake Fluid
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 Brake Fluid, or any
brake fluid of equal quality and performance. Use fresh brake fluid
from a sealed container. Be sure to read the label before opening the
sealed container. An opened container may be contaminated or may
have absorbed moisture from the air.
