FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
NOTE:
S While holding the brake hose, tighten the
union bolt.
S Turn the handlebars to the left and right to
make sure the brake hose does not touch oth-
er parts (e.g., wire harness, cables, leads).
Correct if necessary.
4. Fill:
S brake fluid reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended brake fluid)
Recommended brake fluid
WARNING
S Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
S Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
S When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
5. Bleed:
S brake system
Refer to "BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM" in chapter 3.
