BRAKES

This chapter describes repair and replacement procedures for all brake components. (Refer to Tables 1-4 for brake wear limits. Tables 1-8 are found at the end of the chapter.) FRONT DISC BRAKES The front disc brake is actuated by hydraulic fluid controlled by the hand lever on the right-hand side of the handlebar. As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops in the master cylinder reservoir and automatically adjusts for pad wear. However, brake lever free play must be maintained. Refer to Front Brake Lever Adjustment in Chapter Three. When working on a hydraulic brake system, it is necessary that the work area and all tools be absolutely clean. Any tiny particles of foreign matter or grit on the caliper assembly or the master cylinder can damage the components. Also, sharp tools must not be used inside the caliper or on the caliper piston. If there is any doubt about your ability to correctly and safely carry out major service on the brake components take the job to a Kawasaki dealer or brake specialist.
