Fluid Level Inspection - Honda CRF450X Owner's Manual

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 91).
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 20 mm
(0.8 in), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. Refer to the Honda
Shop Manual or see your Honda dealer for brake
bleeding.
Rear Brake Fluid Level Check

(0.8 in), there is probably air in the brake
system and it must be bled. Refer to the Honda
Shop Manual or see your Honda dealer for brake
bleeding.
