Be careful that water does not enter the master cylin-
der when refilling. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock.
If the brake fluid level goes down, consult a Yamaha
dealer.
CAUTION :
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic
parts. Never spill any fluid. If any is spilled, clean it up
immediately.
