BRAKE FLUID

Spilling 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 of the front master cylinder

is low, check the brake pads for wear (page 4-19).

• A low fluid level may be due to wear of the brake

pads. If the brake pads are worn, the caliper pis-

ton is pushed out, this accounts for a low reser-

voir level. If the brake pads are not worn and the

fluid level is low, check entire system for leaks

(page 4-19).

Turn the handlebar to the left so the reservoir is

level and check the brake reservoir fluid level

through the sight glass.

If the fluid level is near the "LOWER" level mark, fill

the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid (page 17-8).
