•
Keep the vehicle upright so that the flu-
id in the reservoir is at the same level
as the plug.
•
Make sure that the fluid level in the res-
ervoir is above the "MIN" reference
mark:
MIN = minimum level
MAX = maximum level
If the fluid does not reach at least the "MIN" refer-
ence mark:
•
Check the state of wear of the brake
disc and of the brake pads.
•
If the pads and / or the disc do not need
replacing, check that the lack of fluid is
not due to leaks in the braking system.
•
When the system is in good condition,
top up the brake fluid.

RISK OF BRAKE FLUID SPILLING. DO NOT OPERATE THE BRAKE LEVER IF THE BRAKE FLUID

VOIR OPEN ONLY FOR THE TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE TOPPING-UP PROCEDURE.
TO AVOID SPILLING FLUID WHILE TOPPING UP, KEEP THE LEVEL OF THE FLUID IN THE RES-
ERVOIR PARALLEL WITH THE EDGE OF THE RESERVOIR ITSELF (IN HORIZONTAL POSITION).
DO NOT ADD ADDITIVES OR OTHER SUBSTANCES TO THE FLUID. FUNNELS OR ANY OTHER
IMPLEMENTS USED MUST BE PERFECTLY CLEAN.
BRAKE FLUID IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. AVOID CONTACT WITH THE SKIN, EYES AND PARTS
OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
WHEN TOPPING UP, PROTECT PARTS OF THE MOTORCYCLE IN THE VICINITY OF THE RES-
ERVOIR WITH ABSORBENT MATERIAL.
