glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different
types of fluid such as silicone-based or petro-
leum-based. 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.

and immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check
the brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and oil
leakage before riding.
