Brakes - Honda GOLDWING GL1500 Owner's Manual

BRAKES
Both front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc types.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops,
automatically compensating for wear. There are no ad-
justments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear must be in-
spected periodically. The system must be inspected frequently
to ensure there are no fluid leaks. If the control lever or pedal
free travel becomes excessive and the brake pads are not worn
beyond the recommended limit (page 95), there is probably air
in the brake system and it must be bled. See your authorized
Honda dealer for this service.
Brake Fluid Level:
!BIll
• Brake fluid may cause irritation. A void contact with skin or
eyes. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and
call a doctor if your eyes were exposed.
Brake fluid must be added to the reservoir whenever the fluid
level begins to reach the lower level mark.
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID from a sealed con-
tainer up to the upper level mark. Reinstall the removed parts in
the reverse order of removal. Tighten the screws securely.
