BRAKE FLUID
Check
When checking the fluid level, turn the han-
dlebars to ensure that the top of the master
cylinder is level.
Check that the brake fluid level is above the
minimum level mark on the rear brake fluid
reservoir, and check that there is fluid for the
front brake by looking through the inspection
hole in the cylinder.
Changing the fluid
For the front brake, remove the cover (A/F-
13) after removing the bolts (B/F-13). For the
rear brake, remove the cap (C/F-14).
For the rear brake, remove the cap (C/F-14).
The quality of the fluid used must comply with
the standards specified; since otherwise the
rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leaks
and reducing the effectiveness of the brakes.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
ATTENTION: Brake fluid is corrosive.
ADJUSTING THE IDLING RATE
Start the engine and warm it up for a few minu-
tes at 1,000 to 2,000 rpm, increasing it gradua-
lly up to a rate of 4,000 to 5,000 rpm. When
the engine responds quickly to the throttle,
this means that the engine has warmed up.
Adjust the engine idling speed by turning the
fuel adjustment screw (A/F-15). Screwing in in-
crease the rate, and unscrewing decreases it.
Check the ideal rate for the engine using an
electronic tachometer connected to the spark
plug cable.
