FRONT BRAKE PAD CHECK
• Use the recommended brake fluid only.
Otherwise, the rubber retainers may
deteriorate, resulting in leakage and brake
efficiency loss.
• Replenish with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in chemical
reaction on the components and brake
efficiency loss.
• Make sure to prevent water from entering
the master cylinder when replenishing it.
Water decreases the fluid boiling point
and may result in accidents.
The brake fluid may damage painted or
plastic surfaces. Remove the splattered
brake fluid immediately.
2. Check:
• Brake fluid level
• Brake fluid level below the “LOWER”
mark 1 - replenish
NOTE:
• Place the motorcycle upright when
checking the brake fluid level.
• When checking the brake fluid level, make
sure the top of the master cylinder is in
the horizontal.
