Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation. Refer to "CA-
BLE ROUTING" on page 2-40.

When installing the brake hose onto the
brake master cylinder, make sure that the
brake pipe touches the projection "a" on
the brake master cylinder.
NOTE:
• While holding the brake hose, tighten the
union bolt.
• Turn the handlebar to the left and right to
make sure the brake hose does not touch oth-
er parts (e.g., wire harness, cables, leads).

WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.
