brake system. If there is any leakage of fluid from any part of
the system, quickly replace the damaged parts.
Check for degradation and damage of the hoses, pipes and
joints. Check for looseness of joints and clamps. Also make
sure that hoses and pipes do not come into contact with
mechanical parts when the fork is turned, or due to vibration
when the vehicle is running.

the reservoir is level.
Place a rag over painted, plastic or rubber parts whenever the
