SERVICE
FRONT AND REAR BRAKE INSPECTION Initially, check your front and rear
brakes at 500 miles then every 2,500 miles thereafter. If you ride under adverse conditions
like steep hills or heavy traffic, more frequent inspection may be necessary. Visual
inspection of brake pads can be made without removing the caliper by viewing the lower
area of each caliper with the aid of a flashlight. If brake pad material is 1/16" in thickness
(the thickness of a nickel) the pad must be replaced immediately. Do not ignore this
routine maintenance as damage could occur. Replace brake pads in pairs only. Check the
brake caliper position on both brake discs. The discs should be centered between the
brake pads. If the pads are not centered, or you have any other brake related problem,
contact a Big Dog Motorcycles Dealer or Authorized Service Center.
