Brakes
This section describes how to inspect the brake fluid level
for both the front and rear brakes. Your motorcycle uses
Nissin brake pads for stopping power. Both front and rear
pad examples are shown below.
Front Brake Pads
An example of the front brake pads is shown below.
Rear Brake Pads
An example of the rear brake pads is shown below.
Brake Fluid Level Inspection
WARNING! Do not spill brake fluid on painted surfaces;
the finish could be damaged. Spilling brake fluid on the
ABS body plastics will cause them to crack. Clean off any
brake fluid spills immediately.
Always place a shop towel under the master cylinder
reservoir prior to removing cover/cap.
Low fluid levels may indicate worn brake pads or a leak in
the hydraulic system. Inspect the brake pads for wear
and/or the hydraulic system for leaks. Use only new DOT 4
brake fluid from a sealed container.
