How To Care For Your Motorcycle Disc Brakes?


1. Keep The Brake Fluid Reservoir Topped Up.
The brake fluid reservoir has a sight glass that allows you to check the fluid level. Make sure the brake fluid level is not lower than the minimum mark. If a top-up is needed, carefully open the lid and fill it up.

2. Bleed The Brakes Periodically.
Removing the air trapped inside the hydraulic brake system on your vehicle. To remove the air in your brake system, open up the bleeder screw placed on the caliper and then press the brake lever. It will pressurize the system, letting out the air and some brake fluid as well. The bleeder screw shouldn’t remain open when the brake lever is released or else, it will suck in more air.

3. Keep The Disc Rotors Clean.
Check whether there is dirt at the brake caliper. If there is, it should be cleaned to prevent the sediment from causing the brake cylinder and friction pads to be out of position, thereby affecting the braking effect and the life of the braking system.

4. Replace the brake fluid Regularly.
Check whether the brake fluid leaks, if it leaks, please wipe the leaked brake fluid, and promptly go to the repair shop to find out the cause and repair it.

5. Check Brake Pads Regularly.
Check on pads' health and wear is of paramount importance to keep the braking system in good health. There is an inspection hole in the dust shield on the caliper to help you look at the brake pads inside.
