Brake

WARNING
Any brake system repair should be
performed by an authorized Bom-
bardier ATV dealer.
The front brakes are hydraulic disc
types. These brakes are self-adjust-
ing and require no adjustment.
The rear brake employs two systems.
The first system uses a cable; an
adjustment is necessary. See an au-
thorized Bombardier ATV dealer. The
second system is hydraulic and re-
quires no adjustment. The systems
are linked together for a higher effi-
ciency.
Inspection
Check the following to keep the
brakes in a good operating condition:
– brake system for fluid leaks
– brake for spongy feel
– brake discs for excessive wear and
surface condition
– brake pads for wear, damage or
looseness.

Brake Cable Lubrication
Remove brake lever and lock (screw,
nut and spring).
Remove cable from hand lever. To
ease this operation, apply a force on
the brake pedal to loosen the cable.
Put the cable luber (P/N 529 035 738)
on the cable.
Insert the needle of the spray can in
the cable luber hole.
Spray a small quantity of silicone lubri-
cant (P/N 293 600 041) or an equiv-
alent, then press the brake pedal to
move the brake cable. Repeat this
procedure until the silicone lubricant
exits the other end of the cable.
Always use a silicone-based lubri-
cant. Using another lubricant (like
a water-based lubricant) could
cause the brake lever/cable stick-
ing or stiffness.

ness.
Replace or have damaged parts re-
paired.
