During T-CLOCS, you squeeze the front brake lever and it travels all the way to the handlebar grip before resistance builds. What does this indicate, and what should you do?

During T-CLOCS, you squeeze the front brake

Multiple choice — select the best answer

AThere is likely air in the brake line or insufficient fluid; the motorcycle should not be ridden until serviced
BThis is normal for hydraulic brake systems; proceed with the ride
CThe brake pads are worn but safe for short trips at low speed
DThe front brake only needs adjustment to the lever tension screw

✓ Correct answer: A. There is likely air in the brake line or insufficient fluid; the motorcycle should not be ridden until serviced A brake lever that travels to the grip without firm resistance indicates a hydraulic failure — typically air in the line or low fluid — which can result in complete brake loss; riding in this condition is unsafe.
