General Information
Warning
Never use mineral based grease in any part of the
braking system or in any area where contact with the
braking system is possible. Mineral based grease will
damage the hydraulic seals in the calipers and master
cylinders.
Damage caused by contact with mineral based grease
may redu c e braking efficiency resulting in an accident.
Warning
Before installation, all internal brake components should
be cleaned and lubricated with clean new DOT 4 brake
fluid.
Never use solvents, petrol (gasoline), engine oil, or any
other petroleum distillate on internal brake components
as this will cause deterioration of the hydraulic seals in
the calipers and master cylinders.
A dangerous riding condition leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident could result if this
warning is ignored.
Safety Instructions
Jacking and Lifting
Warning
J
Always ensure that any lifting apparatus has adequate
load and safety capacity for the weight to be lifted.
Ensure the motorcycle is well supported to prevent any
possibility of the machine falling during lifting or jacking,
or while repairs and servicing are carried out.
Never rely on a single means of support when working
with the motorcycle. Use additional safety supports and
straps to prevent toppling.
Do not leave tools, lifting equipment, spilt oil, etc. in a
place where they could become a hazard to health.
Always work in a clean, tidy area and put all tools away
when the work is finished.

Service Manual - Daytona 675, Street Triple and Street Triple R
Precautions against Damage
Avoid spilling brake fluid or battery acid on any part of the
bodywork. Wash spillages off with water immediately.
Disconnect the battery earth lead before starting work, see
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS.
Always use the recommended service tool where
specified.
Protect exposed bearing and sealing surfaces, and screw
threads from damage.

Coolant

Warning
Coolant mixture, which is blended with anti-freeze and
corrosion inhibitors contains toxic chemicals which are
harmful to the human body. Never swallow anti-freeze,
corrosion inhibitors or any of th e m oto rcycl e coolant.
AWarning
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the radiator is
hot and also under pressure. Contact with the
pressurised coolant will cause scald s and skin damage.
Caution
The coolant anti-freeze contains a corrosion inhibitor
which helps prevent damage to the metal surfaces inside
the cooling system. Without this inhibitor, the coolant
would 'attack the metals and the resulting corrosion
would cause blockages in the cooling system leading to
engine overheating and damage. Always use the correct
anti-freeze as specified in the Owner's Handbook.
Never use a methanol based anti-freeze as this does not
contain the required corrosion inhibition properties.
A
Caution
Distilled water must be used with the anti-freeze (see
specification for anti-freeze) in the cooling system.
If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale
accumulation in the water passages, and considerably
reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. Reduced
cooling system efficiency may lead to the engine
overheating an d engine damage.
