!
FRONT FORK OIL
Use fork oil #10 or equivalent fork oil.
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manu-
facturer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based
fluid for refilling the system, otherwise serious damage will result.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers.
Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long
period.
