  After servicing, it takes several applications of the
  brake lever or pedal before the brake pads contact
  the disc, which could result in increased stopping
  distance and cause an accident resulting in injury
  or death. Do not attempt to ride the motorcycle until
  a firm brake lever or pedal is obtained by pumping
  the lever or pedal until the pads are against the disc.
