BRAKE FLUID
3-?0
CAUTION:
• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are
not compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the sys-
tem when filling the reservoir.
•Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber
parts. Place a rag over these parts whenever the
system is serviced.
NOTE:
When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads
for wear (page 3-21). A low fluid level may be. due
to wear of the brake pads. If the brake pads are
worn, the caliper pistons are pushed out, and this
accounts for a low reservoir level.
If the brake pads are not worn and the fluid level is
low, check entire system for leaks (page 3-21 ).
FRONT BRAKE
Turn the handlebar to the left side so that the reser-
voir is level and check the fluid level through the
sight glass.
If the level is near the lower level mark, remove the
reservoir cap, set plate and diaphragm, and fill the
reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer to the casting ledge.
Install the diaphragm, set plate and reservoir cap
and tighten the cap screws.
