Brakes

Checking Brake Fluid

  • Place your vehicle in an upright position on a firm, level surface.
  • Except CBR1000SP Front
    Check that the brake fluid reservoir is horizontal and that the fluid level is between the LOWER level and UPPER level marks.

    • CBR1000SP Front
    Check that the brake fluid reservoir is horizontal and that the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX marks.


    If the brake fluid level in either reservoir is below the LOWER level mark or MIN mark or the brake lever and pedal freeplay becomes excessive, inspect the brake pads for wear.

    If the brake pads are not worn, you most likely have a leak. Have your vehicle inspected by your dealer.
