Brakes; Brake Fluid - Honda CBX 750F RC17 Manual

Replacement
When a new drive chain is installed, a new wear label must be attached according to the
directions provided with the replacement chain. Since new chain lengths vary slightly,
proper label placement is necessary to provide accurate wear and repl acement indication.
Caution: Never install a new drive chain on badly worn sprockets, or use new
sprockets with a badly worn drive chain.
Lubrication and Cleaning:
The drive chain on this motorcycle is equipped with small O-rings between the link plates. The O-rings can be damaged by
steam cleaner, high pressure washers, and certain solvents.
Clean the chain with kerosene. Wipe dry and lubricate only with SAE 80 or 90 gear oil. Commercial chain lubricants may
contain solvents which could damage the rubber O-rings.

Brakes

Brake Fluid

The brake fluid level in the reservoir must be maintained between the upper (1) and lower (2) level marks. Whenever the level
falls near the lower level mark (2), check the brake pads for wear (see Brake Pads below). If the brake pad wear does not
exceed the limits, this will usually indicate a fluid leak. Consult your nearest Honda dealer.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT4
CAUTION:
•
Handle brake fluid with care because it can damage paint and electric wires.
•
Never allow contaminants (dirt, water, etc.) to enter the brake fluid reservoir.
Brake Pads
Inspect the pads visually from the direction as indicated by the arrow (1) during all
regular servi ce intervals to determine pad wear. If the pads wear to the wear indicator (2),
both pads must be replaced. Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for deterioration
or cracks in the hose and fittings.
Note: Use only genuine Honda replacement friction pads offered by authorised
Honda dealers. When brake service is necessary consult your Honda dealer.
