                           WARNING
    After servicing, it takes several applications of the
    brake lever 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 is obtained by pumping the lever until
    the pads are against the disc.
