BRAKE FLUID

• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are not
compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the system
when filling the reservoir.
• Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber parts.
Place a shop towel over these parts whenever the
system is serviced.
When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads for
wear (page 3-20).
A low fluid level may be due to wear of the brake pads.
If the brake pads are worn, the caliper piston is pushed
out, and this accounts for a low reservoir level. If the
brake pads are not worn and the fluid level is low, check
entire system for leaks (page 3-20).
FRONT BRAKE:
Turn the handlebar so that the reservoir is level and Front: [1]
check the front brake fluid reservoir level through the
sight glass [1].
If the level is near the lower level line [2], check the
brake pad wear (page 3-20).
[2]
REAR BRAKE:
Place the motorcycle on a level surface, and support it
in an upright position.
Check the rear brake fluid reservoir level.
If the level is near the lower level line [3], check the Rear:
brake pad wear (page 3-20).
