* The brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix
different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based fluids. Do not use any
brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers. Never re-use brake fluid left over
from the last servicing or stored for a long period of time.
* Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running and immediately discolor painted sur-
faces. Check the brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and fluid leakage before riding.

any damages are found, replace the brake hose with a new one.
