To check front brake fluid level, proceed as follows:
- Position minicross on a flat ground and in vertical position;
- Undo screws (1), and remove cover (2) with diaphragm (3);
H02042
- check that oil level is about 3 mm from the upper edge; if necessary, top up
1
using an oil specified in "LUBRICATION AND SUPPLIES" table.
H02043
A decrease of the fluid level will let air into the system, hence an extension of
the lever stroke.
3 mm
H02044
If the brake lever feels mushy when pulled, there may be air in the brake
line or the brake may be defective: CHECK THE BRAKING SYSTEM
(see Section "L").
Too much brake lever free play may reduce braking action: CHECK
BRAKE PAD THICKNESS (see Section "L").
Do not spill brake fluid onto any painted surface or lens (for example
lights lens).
Do not mix two brands of fluid. Completely change the brake fluid in the
brake system if you wish to switch to another fluid brand.
Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case
of contact, flush thoroughly with water and call a doctor if your eyes were
exposed.
