Check hydraulic brake oil level.
To check fluid level remove reservoir cover located on
handlebar. Fluid must reach top lip of reservoir. If nec-
essary to replenish use only hydraulic brake fluid
meeting specification J-1703.
. . CAUTION: The entry of dirt or foreign particles in-
... to the brake fluid may require system flushing.
Activate the brake control lever and make sure the
brake fully applies before the brake control lever tou-
ches the handlebar grip.
If a soft or spongy braking action is felt and oil level is
normal, air may have entered the system.
To correct, bleed the brake system. Refer to the lubri-
cation section for complete procedure.
