Checking brake-fluid
level, front brakes
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow air
to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking
efficiency.
Check the brake-fluid level at
regular intervals.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motor-
cycle upright.
with OA Centre stand:
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand.

Wear of the brake pads

in the reservoir to sink.
