Checking brake fluid level
Checking fluid level in the closed
brake fluid reservoir
The procedure for checking the level in the left brake
fluid reservoir is described below. The procedure for
checking the level in the right brake fluid reservoir is
the same.
e
Attention:
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir must be at
the "MAX" mark with new brake pads. It is not pos-
sible to check the maximum fill level at the inspec-
tion glass. For details of the correct procedure see
Checking fluid level in the open brake fluid reser-
voir!
•
Turn the handlebars to full left lock
L
Note:
The volume of the brake fluid (MIN/MAX) is sufficient
for lining thicknesses from new to the wear limit. It is
not normally necessary to top up the fluid to accom-
modate lining wear.
Level below minimum indicates that other problems
may be present!
•
Check the level of brake fluid in the sight glass
Minimum level (arrow)
......................... slightly above centre of sight glass
with pads worn to wear limit

Warning:
Never allow brake fluid level to fall below minimum
graduation (arrow)! Otherwise, there is a danger that
air will be drawn into the braking system as the
brakes are operated!
