Hydraulic Brake Inspection
Frequently inspect
the brake lever
reserve. Firmly
depress the brake
lever and measure
the clearance
between the lever
and handlebar grip.
This distance,
called brake lever
reserve (A), should be no less than 1/2″ (1.3 cm).
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes
thinner than the backing plate (approximately 1/16″). A kit is available
for replacing brake pads. See your dealer.

excessive.
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material
