Brake System
During motorcycle operation, the boiling point of
the brake fl uid is continuously reduced through the
absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. Under
extremely hard operating conditions, this moisture can
lead to the formation of bubbles in the system, thus
reducing the system’s effi
ciency.
Th
e brake fl uid must therefore be replaced every year,
preferably in the spring or after removing the motorcycle
from storage
Furthermore, every 2500 miles (4000 km), the brake
fl uid level in the front and rear master cylinder reservoirs
(See fi gures 2 and 9) should be checked. Use only
D.O.T. 4 brake fl uid. Brake pads and brake discs should
be checked for wear every 2500 miles (4000 km) when
riding under normal conditions. When riding under
severe or adverse conditions, the pads and discs should
be checked more frequently.
Note:
Indication of the MIN level on the master
cylinder side glass cannot be related to pad wear. Pad wear
inspection has to be performed directly by measuring the
pad thickness.
