Ensure absolute cleanliness when adding brake fluid to
the brake fluid reservoir. Do not allow moisture or debris
to enter the cylinder, as this will adversely affect the fluid
properties. Always use fluid from a sealed container and
do not use fluid from a container that has been opened
for any period of time. Always check for fluid leakage
around hydraulic fittings and for damage to hoses. A
dangerous riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident could result if this warning is
ignored.
To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto
any area of the bodywork. Spilled brake fluid will
damage paintwork.

to spill any fluid.
