Front Brake - Honda XR250R Owner's Manual

FRONT BRAKE

This model has a hydraulic disc front brake.
As the brake pads wear, brake fluid level
drops, automatically compensating for wear.
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 control lever free play becomes
excessive and the brake pads are not worn
beyond the recommended limit (page 18),
there is probably air in the brake system and
it must be bled. See your authorised Honda
dealer.
Brake Fluid Level:
Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid
contact with skin or eyes. !n case of
contact, flush thoroughly with water
and call a doctor if your eyes were
exposed.
Remove the screws,
diaphragm. Whenever the level is near the
lower level mark (1) on the front reservoir, fill
the reservoir with DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID from
a sealed container. Reinstall the diaphragm and
reservoir cap. Tighten the screws securely.
CAUTION:
When adding brake fluid be sure the reservoir is
horizontal before the cap is removed or brake
fluid may spill out.
