Recommended Brake Fluid
Always use brake fluid meeting the
specification DOT 4 only.

Brake Fluid Level
With vehicle on a level surface, check
brake fluid in reservoirs for proper lev-
el. They should be above MIN. mark.
Add fluid as required. Do not overfill.
Clean filler cap before removing.

the handlebar above brake levers.
