Points of application
WARNING–
• The clutch fluid system and the brake fluid system use the fluid
tank in common.
• You must use new brake fluid (SAE J1703f or FMVSS No.116
DOT3). Do not add different quality fluid or mineral oil (gas oil,
engine oil, gear oil, automatic transmission fluid, etc.) to the
clutch system, because this will cause the rubber parts of the
clutch system and brake system to swell, resulting in faulty
clutch operation, as well as ineffective braking and brake drag-
ging.
• Do not allow foreign particles or water to become mixed into the
brake fluid when refilling, because this will result in ineffective
clutch and brake operations.
• If you use a mug for adding brake fluid, keep it solely for that
purpose.
CAUTION–
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on related parts as this could
damage the paintwork.
• Be sure to wipe off brake fluid immediately if you splash it on the
paintwork.
[Inspection and replenishment]
• Inspect the level of the brake fluid in fluid tank 1. It should fall between
the "MAX" and "MIN" levels.
• If it is below the "MIN" level, lift up the lid flap and remove the cap from
fluid tank 1, then supply the specified brake fluid until the level has
come up to the "MAX" level. Do not fill above the "MAX" level.
