HYDRAULIC BRAKE

SERVICE INFORMATION

GENERAL
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition could be hazardous to your health.
• Avoid breathing dust particles.
• Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.
Spilled brake fluid will severely damage instrument lenses and painted surfaces. It is also harmful to some rubber parts. Be
careful whenever you remove the reservoir cap; make sure the front reservoir is horizontal first.
• This section covers service of the conventional brake components of the brake system. For ABS service (page 16-4).
• The brake fluid replacement procedure for the ABS type (XL700VA) should be performed in the same manner as in the
ordinal procedure. Note that replacement and bleeding air from the brake fluid in the modulator is not necessary, as it
sealed in the modulator.
• A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated pads and clean a contaminated disc
with a high quality brake degreasing agent.
• Never allow contaminants (e.g., dirt, water) to enter an open reservoir.
• Once the hydraulic system has been opened, or if the brake feels spongy, the system must be bled.
• Always use fresh DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container when servicing the system. Do not mix different types of
fluid as they may not be compatible.
• Always check brake operation before riding the motorcycle.
