Brake Fluid - Honda INTERCEPTOR 2002 Service Manual

BRAKE FLUID
I
NOTICE
• 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.
• Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber
parts. Place a shop towel over these parts when-
ever the system is serviced.
When the fluid level is low, check t he brake pads for
wear (page 3-26). A low fluid level may be due to
wear of the brake pads. If the brake pads are worn,
the caliper piston is pushed out, and this accounts
for a low reservoir level. If the brake pads are not
worn and the fluid level is low, check entire system
for leaks (page 3-26).
FRONT BRAKE
Turn the handlebar so that the reservoir is level and
check the front brake fluid reservoir level.
If the level is near the lower level line, check the
brake pad wear (page 3-26).
REAR BRAKE
Place the motorcycle on a level surface, and support
it in an upright position.
Remove the seat (page 2-5).
Check the rear brake fluid reservoir level.
If the level is near the lower level line, check the
brake pad wear (page 3-26).
