•
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake fluid level
to gradually go down. A low brake fluid level may indicate
worn brake pads or brake system leakage. Therefore, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear before checking the
brake system for leakage.
•
Have your dealer check the cause if the brake fluid level
goes down unexpectedly�
Brake Pad Inspection
Inspect the front and rear brake pads and discs for damage and
wear. If the pad thickness ( A ) is less than 008 in. ( 2.0 mm ) or
the disc thickness ( B ) is less than .16 in. ( 4.0 mm ), have your
dealer replace them. Replacement of brake components requires
professional knowledge, and should be performed by your dealer.
NOTE:
Wheels must be removed to check brake pads.
After servicing:
•
Make sure the brakes operate smoothly and that the lever
free play is correct.
•
Make sure the brakes do not drag and the brake operation
is not spongy�
•
All air is bled from the brake system.
