Brake-pad wear
The rear brake has a mechan-
ical brake-pad wear indicator.
Shaft 1 with three marker
rings 2 is between the brake
pads.
How to interpret the marks:
Three rings visible: brake-
pad thickness is at least
75 %
Two rings visible: brake-pad
thickness is at least 50 %
One ring visible: brake-pad
thickness is at least 25 %
No rings visible: brake pads
worn to wear limit; check as

Brake fluid
Checking front brake
fluid level
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can al-
low air to penetrate the brake
system. This significantly re-
duces braking efficiency.
Check brake fluid level
regularly.
Make sure ground is level
and firm and park the mo-
torcycle.
Move handlebars into
straight-ahead position.
Read off the brake fluid level
at the reservoir 1.
The brake fluid level in
the brake-fluid reser-
voir drops due to brake pad
wear.
