BRAKE FLUID

Brake fluid level
With the scooter in an upright position, check
the front and rear fluid level. It should be
above the lower level mark. If the level is at
or below the lower level mark "L", check the
brake pads for wear.
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are
not worn, have your brake system inspected
for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is DOT 4
brake fluid from a sealed container, or an
equivalent.
Other checks
Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for
deterioration or cracks in the hoses and
fittings.

BRAKE PAD WEAR

Brake pad wear depends upon the severity of
usage, the type of riding, and road conditions.
(Generally, the pads will wear faster on wet
and dirty roads.) Inspect the pads at each
regular maintenance interval.
Front brake /Rear brake
Check the cutout in each pad.
If either pad is worn to the cutout, replace
both pads as a set. See your KYMCO dealer
for this service.
