Brake System Inspection
(SLR Only)
- Inspect all brake
hoses and connections for dampness or stains from leaking or dried
fluid. Tighten any leaking connections
and replace components as necessary. See the SLINGSHOT Service Manual or your
authorized dealer.
- Check the brake pedal
for excessive travel or a spongy feel.
- Inspect the rotor
to ensure tightness to hub.
- Check the brake pads
for wear, damage and looseness.
- Inspect brake discs
for nicks, scratches, cracks or other damage. Clean any grease using
an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
WARNING |
Do not apply WD-40 or any petroleum product to brake discs. These
types of products are flammable and may also reduce the
friction between the
brake pad and caliper. |
- Inspect the brake
disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. Change pads when
worn to 3/50'' (1.5 mm).
- Inspect the thickness
of each brake disc at four or more locations around the disc. If any
disc is worn to the minimum thickness
at the thinnest point, or if a disc is damaged,
see your dealer for replacement.
- The SLR model comes
with a 2–piece rotor. Check that the rotor is tightened adequately
to the hub.
