MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING
Avoid getting brake fluid on skin
or in eyes – it may cause severe
burns. In case of contact with the
skin, wash thoroughly. In case of
contact with the eyes, immediate-
ly rinse with plenty of water for at
least 10 minutes and then consult
a doctor immediately.
Check the brake fluid level as follows:
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level sur-
face.
2. Unlatch and lift the seat.
3. Check the brake fluid level in both
reservoirs, near the back of the
seat. They should both be above
the MIN. mark.

7. Reinstall both caps of the reservoir.
8. Close the seat and ensure it is fully
latched.
NOTE: Low brake fluid may indicate
leaks or worn brake pads. See an au-
thorized Can-Am roadster dealer.
Brake System Verification
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic
disc types. These brakes are self-
adjusting and do not require adjust-
ment.
The brake pedal also requires no ad-
justment.
To keep brakes in good condition,
check the following as per the MAIN-
TENANCE SCHEDULE (p. 72):
1. entire brake system for fluid leaks
2. brake pedal for spongy feel
3. brake discs for excessive wear and
surface condition
4. brake pads for wear, damage or
looseness.
See an authorized Can-Am roadster
dealer if there are any problems with
the brake system.
