MAINTENANCE & SERVICING
WARNING
Insufficient brake fluid level can lead to air
entrapment in the brake system, which reduces
braking force. Check that the brake fluid is above
the minimum mark (1) before each journey and
top up if necessary.
•
A low level may also indicate worn brake pads
or a leak in the brake system.
•
If the brake fluid level is low, please check the
brake pads for wear and the brake system for
leaks.
•
When checking the brake fluid level, make sure
that the brake master cylinder is level. Turn the
handlebar accordingly.
•
Only use high-quality brake fluid, otherwise
the rubber seals may degrade and lead to poor
braking performance.
BRAKE FLUID
Quality
•
Always top up with the same brake fluid. Mixing
can lead to chemical reactions and reduced
braking performance.
•
Make sure that no water enters the brake
master cylinder when refilling. This reduces the
boiling point of the brake fluid considerably and
can lead to the formation of vapour bubbles.
•
Brake fluid attacks painted surfaces and
plastic. Always wipe off overflowing brake fluid
immediately.
•
As your brake pads wear, the level of brake fluid
also decreases.
•
However, if the brake fluid level decreases
quickly, please contact your specialist dealer.
Change brake fluid
WARNING
The brake fluid may only be changed by the
specialist dealer.
Have your specialist dealer check the brake fluid
