WARNI NG:
Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with
safe running and immediately discolor painted
surfaces.
Check the brake hoses for cracks and hose
joint for leakage before riding.
WARN ING:
The brake system of this vehicle is filled with
a glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix
different types of fluid such as silicone­
based and petroleum-based fluid for refilling
the system, otherwise serious damage will be
caused. Do not use any brake fluid taken
from old or used or unsealed containers.
Never re-use the brake fluid left over from the
last servicing and stored for long periods.
