Brake uid level inspection
Before riding, check that the brake uid level is above the low mark
and replenish whenever necessary. Insucient brake uid may let
air enter the brake system, possibly causing the brakes to become
ineective. The brake uid master cylinder reservoir levels (A) can
be viewed from the left side inner fender well.
Observe these precautions:
When checking the uid level, make sure the vehicle is on a level surface.
Use only the designated quality brake uid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leaks and
poor brake performance.
Recommended brake uid: DOT 4
Rell with the same type of brake uid. Mixing uids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and may lead
to poor brake performance.
Be careful the water does not enter the master cylinder reservoir. Water will signicantly lower the boiling
point of the uid and lead to poor brake performance.
Brake uid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled uid immediately
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake uid level to gradually go down. A low brake uid level may
indicate worn brake pads or brake system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage
Have your dealer check the cause if the brake uid level goes down unexpectedly.
