                           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.
