Brake Fluid

The KYMCO MXU 700i models uses DOT 4 brake fluid. Do not mix the brake fluid types.
The system should be bled whenever the brakes feel spongy, or if the brake system has
been taken apart and rebuilt. Always use fresh brake fluid from a tightly sealed container.
SAFETY FIRST: Protective gloves and eyewear are recommended at this point.
Warning: Brake fluid is very caustic and can damage paint, chrome and plastic. Wipe
up any spills immediately.
Inspection
Place the vehicle on level ground so the master cylinder reservoirs are level.
Check the level of brake fluid. The level should be above the "L" line.
Compress the brake lever or pedal several times. The lever or pedal should be firm. If the
lever or pedal is not firm, but mushy, the brake system requires bleeding.
There are two rear brake calipers. The caliper that mounts to the top of the final drive gear
is connected to the pedal activated master cylinder. The caliper that mounts to the side of
the final drive gear is connected to the left handlebar master cylinder. The right handlebar
master cylinder connects to the front brake calipers.
