Checking the brake fluid level

1.
Minimum level mark
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark and
replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads and/
or brake system leakage. If the brake
fluid level is low, be sure to check the
brake pads for wear and the brake sys-
tem for leakage.
Brake fluid level, checking<IXE>
Observe these precautions:

When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the master cyl-
inder is level by turning the handle-
bars.

Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance.
Recommended brake fluid:

Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a

Be careful that water does not en-

boiling point of the fluid and may
result in vapor lock.
