Maintenance and Lubrication:
WARNING
!
• 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 reuse 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 surfaces. Check the brake hoses
and hose joints for cracks and oil leakage
before riding.
Brake Fluid Level Check
1) Keep the motorcycle upright and place the
handlebars straight.
2) Check the brake fluid level by observing the lower
limit lines on the front and rear brake fluid reservoirs.
When the brake fluid level is below the lower limit
line, replenish with brake fluid that meets the
following specification.
