BRAKE FLUID
Spilled fluid can damage painted, plastic, or rubber parts.
Place a rag over these parts whenever the system is
serviced.
• 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.
FLUID LEVEL INSPECTION
Support the motorcycle upright on a level surface and
check the brake fluid level.
If the level is near the lower level line [1], check the brake
pad wear 2-53.
If the brake pads are not worn and the fluid level is low,
check the entire system for leaks, then fill the reservoir
with the brake fluid 2-52.
