BRAKE MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
• Lubricate ball with standard automotive grease.
• Remove master cylinder cap and ensure that it is full of au-
tomotive brake fluid.
• Check and adjust brakes at least once per year. Consult
your individual brake owner's manual for additional infor-
mation or consult your dealer regarding this item.
CAUTION: Check fill cap before each trip for tightness. A loose cap can allow
moisture to contaminate the brake fluid.
