Rear Brake Fluid

Review Brake Fluid Precautions on page 168.
1. Set vehicle upright on a level surface and view the
rear brake fluid reservoir through the right leg fairing.
2. The fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX
level lines on the reservoir.
3. If level is low, check brake pads for wear (page 96).
If pads are not worn past the service limit, inspect
the rear brake system for leaks.
4. To add fluid, remove reservoir cover with diaphragm
by turning it counter-clockwise (as viewed from top).
5. Add DOT 4 Brake Fluid from a sealed container to
the proper level. Reinstall the cover and diaphragm
and install the cover securely. Wipe cap area clean
to remove any brake fluid.
6. Check for signs of brake fluid leaks around hoses,
fittings, reservoir, and brake calipers.
Check for deterioration of hoses.
