tegral ABS:
Brake fluid DOT4
Brake fluid level must not
drop.

brake system.
Have fault remedied as
quickly as possible by
a certified workshop,
preferably an authorized

Checking rear brake fluid

A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can al-
low air to penetrate the brake
system. This significantly re-
duces braking efficiency.
Brake early.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and park the
motorcycle.
Check brake fluid level
through inspection
opening A in right-hand side
