PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-23
The brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a
glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different
types of fluid such as silicone-based or petro-
leum-based. Do not use any brake fluid taken from
old, used or unsealed containers. Never re-use brake
fluid left over from the last servicing or stored for a
long period.
Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running
and immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check the
brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and oil leakage
before riding.
