NOTE:
_
• While holding the brake hose, tighten the
union bolt as shown.
• Turn the handlebar to the left and right to
make sure the brake hose does not touch
other parts (e.g., wire harness, cables,
leads). Correct if necessary.
CAUTION:

brake master cylinder, make sure the brake
pipe touches the projection a on the brake
master cylinder.

mended brake fluid)

WARNING
_
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
• 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
performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir. 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.
