GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND HOSES

HINT: Inspect in a well-lighted area. Inspect the entire circumference and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn the front wheels fully right or left before inspecting the front.





a) Check all brake lines and hoses for:
^ Damage
^ Wear
^ Deformation
^ Cracks
^ Corrosion
^ Leaks
^ Bends
^ Twists

b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leakage.
c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges, moving parts and the exhaust system.
d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through the center of the grommets.

2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
3. INSPECT REAR BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
a) Check the rear brake pads and disc.

HINT: If a squealing or scraping noise occurs from the brake during driving, check the pad wear indicator. If there are traces of the indicator contacting the disc rotor, the disc pad should be replaced.
