BRAKE
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
• Keep the motorcycle upright and place the handlebars
straight.
• Check the brake fluid level by observing the lower lines A on
the front and rear brake fluid reservoirs.
• When the brake fluid level is below the lower line, replenish
with brake fluid that meets the following specification.
Specification and classification: DOT 4
(BRAKE)
Inspect initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 3 months) and
every 5 000 km (3 000 miles, 15 months) thereafter.
(BRAKE HOSE AND BRAKE FLUID)
Inspect every 5 000 km (3 000 miles, 15 months).
Replace hoses every 4 years. Replace fluid every 2
years.
The brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a
glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different
types of fluid such as silicone-based and petro-
leum-based fluids. Do not use any brake fluid taken
from old, used or unsealed containers. Never reuse
brake fluid left over from the last servicing or stored
for a long period of time.
Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running
and immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check the
brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and fluid leak-
age before riding.
