A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated pads and clean a contaminated disc
with
a
high quality brake degreasing agent.
• Spilled brake fluid will severely damage the plastic parts and painted surfaces. It isalso harmful to some rubber parts.
Be careful whenever you remove the reservoir cap; make sure the reservoir is horizontal first.
• Never allow contaminants (dirt, water, etc.) to get into an open reservoir.
• Once the hydraulic system has been opened, or if the brake feels spongy, the system must be bled.
• Always use fresh DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container when servicing the system. Do not mix different types of
fluid as they may not be compatible.
• Always check brake operation before riding the motorcycle.
• A hoist or equivalent is required to support the motorcycle when servicing the rear master cylinder.
