MAINTENANCE

BRAKE FLUID

Spilled fluid can damage painted, plastic or rubber
parts. Place a rag over these parts whenever the
system is serviced.
• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are not
compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the system
when filling the reservoir.
• When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads for
wear (page 3-18).
A low fluid level may be due to wear of the brake
pads. If the brake pads are worn and caliper pistons
are pushed out, this accounts for a low fluid level. If
the brake pads are not worn and fluid level is low,
check the entire system for leaks (page 3-18).

FRONT BRAKE

Turn the handlebar so the reservoir is level and check
the front brake fluid level through the sight glass.
If the level is near the "LOWER" level line [1], fill the
brake fluid as follows.
Remove the following:
– Two screws [1]
– Reservoir cap [2]
– Set plate [3]
– Diaphragm [4]
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container to the upper level line (casting ledge) [5].
Install the diaphragm, set plate and reservoir cap, and
tighten the screws to the specified torque.
TORQUE: 1.5 N·m (0.2 kgf·m, 1.1 lbf·ft)
