When the brake is applied, an arrow (1) fixed to the brake arm (2) moves toward a reference mark (3) on the brake panel (4), if the arrow aligns with the reference mark on full application of the brake, the brake shoes must be replaced.
Check for correct brake fluid level in the master cylinder. The master cylinder or the reservoir is located on the right handle bar
Recommended Brake Fluid:Dot 3 or Dot 4
Ensure that the brake fluid level does not fall below “MIN” mark on the master cylinder, when checked with the master cylinder parallel to the ground. If the brake oil level decreases abruptly, check for the leakages in the brake system and consult your Workshop of Hero Authorized Distributor or the Authorized dealer(s) of the Distributor.
NoteClean the dirt and mud accumulated between the brake pads and caliper and the disc by using a water jet. Always contact your Workshop of Hero Authorized Distributor or the Authorized dealer(s) of the Distributor for refilling of master cylinder when necessary.
CautionDo not mix Dot 3 and Dot 4 brake fluids.
Check and examine the wear indicator groove (1) on each pad. If the wear limit groove on either pads reaches the edge of the brake disc then replace the pads.
Brake pad wear depends upon the severity of usage, the type of riding and road conditions. Generally, the pads will wear faster on wet and dirty roads. Inspect the pads at each regular maintenance interval.
WarningAlways apply front and rear brakes simultaneously to avoid skidding of vehicle.
