level, make sure that the top of the handle-
bar brake reservoir is horizontal.
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up any spilt
fluid immediately .
A
WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other fluids may deteriorate the rubber
seals, causing leakage and poor brake
performance .
• Refill with the same type of fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
• When refilling be careful that water does
not enter the brake reservoir. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may cause vapor lock.
