A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever
can indicate the presence of air in the brake
system. This air must be removed by bleed-
ing the brake system before the motorcycle
is operated. Air in the brake system will con-
siderably reduce braking performance and
could result in loss of control and possibly
an accident. Inspect and bleed the brake
system if necessary.
