- If you do NOT know how to do this, please see a trained professional.
- Regularly change the brake fluid by flushing out all old brake fluid and replacing it with new DOT 4 or higher brake fluid.
- Bleed the braking system after a complete flush as well as every few months to make sure there is no air in the lines
- Check for leaks by closely examining the calipers, hoses, master cylinder and all connections.
- Check fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir on a regular basis for an indication that there might be a leak somewhere.
- Check pad thickness on a regular basis.
- Check the caliper piston(s) to make sure they are extending and retracting properly.
- Check internal seals of the caliper piston(s) for leaks or tears.
- Make sure all brake hose(s) connections are nice and tight to prevent any leaks or from air getting into the braking system.
- Regularly check condition of discs for wide cracks, long cracks, or deep grooving.
- Make sure all wheels rotate freely without any brake drag.
- Wash with water (only) from time to time.
