Brakes - Honda GL1100 interstate Owner's Manual

BRAKES
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.
Both front and rear brakes are hydraulic
disc types.
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.
NOTE:
" If the brake lever or pedal travel be-
come excessive and the friction pads are
not worn beyond the recommended
limit (page 76), there is probably air in
the brake system and it must be bled
out. See your authorized Honda dealer
for this service.
