    brake 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 pedal is obtained by pumping the pedal until
    the pads are against the disc.
