Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter
the brake system, possibly causing the

above the lower level and replenish
when necessary.
Observe these precautions:
1. When checking the fluid level, make
sure the top of the master cylinder is
level by turning the handlebars.

seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake perfor-

fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead

boiling point of the fluid and may
result in "VAPOR LOCK".
