Checking front brake fluid
level
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motorcy-
cle vertically.
Move handlebars into straight-
ahead position.
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow air
to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking
efficiency.
Check brake fluid level
regularly.
Read off brake fluid level at
front brake-fluid reservoir 1.
The brake fluid level in the
brake-fluid reservoir drops
due to brake pad wear.
