Brake Fluid; Brake Shoes/Pads Wear - Honda LEAD 110 2009 Service Manual

MAINTENANCE

BRAKE FLUID

• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are
not compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the system
when filling the reservoir.
• Spilling fluid can damage painted, plastic or rub-
ber parts. Place a rag over these parts whenever
the system is serviced.
Turn the handlebar to the left so the reservoir is
level and check the front brake reservoir fluid level
through the sight glass.
If the level is near the lower level line, check the
brake pads for wear (page 4-16).
A low fluid level may be due to wear of the brake
pads. If the brake pads are worn, the caliper piston
is pushed out, and this accounts for a low reservoir
level. If the brake pads are not worn and the fluid
level is low, check entire system for leaks (page 4-
17).

BRAKE SHOES/PADS WEAR

FRONT DISC BRAKE PADS
Check the brake pads for wear.
Replace the brake pads if either pad is worn to the
wear limit groove.
Refer to brake pad replacement (page 17-8).
Always replace the
brake pads as a set
to assure even disc
pressure.
REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOES
Check the wear indicator position when the brake
lever is applied.
If the indicator aligns with the index mark, inspect
the brake drum (page 17-24).
If the drum I.D. is within service limit, replace the
brake shoes (page 17-24).
