FRONT BRAKE
Turn the handlebar to the left side so that the reser-
voir is level and check the brake fluid level through
the sight glass.
If the level is near the "LOWER" level mark, check
the brake pads wear (page 3-21).
Check the brake system for leakage (page 3-22).
If they are OK and the fluid level is near the
"LOWER" level mark, remove the screws, reservoir
cap, set plate and diaphragm and fill the reservoir
with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container to
the casting ledge.
Install the diaphragm, set plate and reservoir cap,
and tighten the cap screws.
