Honda CBR1000F: Brakes

Affects Honda CBR1000F · 1995–1996 — about 63 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain CBR1000F motorcycles, the owner's manual contains an improper maintenance procedure. The manual does not instruct owners to pump both the brake lever and pedal after re-installing the front wheel. The procedural step of pumping the brake pedal was left out. Failure to pump the brake pedal after front wheel replacement could result in an initial, temporary reduction in braking efficiency if the brake pedal only is applied. Correction: An adhesive backed correction page for the owner's manual will be sent to owners.
