EAU22580 Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.
Observe these precautions:

G When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the bra-
ke fluid reservoir is level.
G
Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Recommended brake fluid:

fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performan-
ce.
