Fluid Level Inspection
Front Brake Fluid Level Check
(1)
(1) lower level mark
With the motorcycle in an upright position, check
the fluid level.
It should be above the lower level mark (1). If the
level is at or below the lower level mark, check
the brake pads for wear (page 89).
Worn brake pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn, have your brake system inspected
for leaks.
If the brake lever freeplay exceeds 0.8 in
(20 mm), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. Refer to the Honda
Service Manual or see your Honda dealer for
brake bleeding.
