Rear Brake System Inspection; Fill Master Brake Cylinder Reservoir - E-TON Viper 70 Owner's Manual

Replacement of the brake shoes and cables
should ONLY be preformed by a qualified
mechanic.

Rear Brake System Inspection

Visually inspect the brake hose for any signs of
wear or leaks. Check the fluid level in the fluid
reservoir by checking the site glass for the level.
The fluid level should fill at least ¾ of site glass
when the unit is setting on a level surface.
Test the brakes by applying pressure to the brake
lever and trying to push the unit forward. If the
wheel rotates while the brakes are applied, check
your fluid level and brake pads. If the brake lever
feels spongy or does not stop when squeezed,
you may have air in the lines. All air must be
purged from the brake lines for the disc brake to
operate properly. (See purging brake lines).
After riding your unit, be sure to clean any build
up of mud, sand and dirt from the brake rotor skid
plate. This will protect the rotor disc from rust and
corrosion.
