1. Clean dust and other foreign materials
around reserve tank to prevent foreign
materials from falling inside tank.
2. Remove the screws and take oil cup
cap, diaphragm plate, diaphragm off.
3. Replenish recommended brake oil to
the upper level inside reserve tank.
RECOMMENDED BRAKE OIL IS
DOT 3 or DOT 4
4. Reinstall the diaphragm, diaphragm
plate, and oil cup cap.
5. Tighten the screws securely.
●Check the brake pads for wear when
refilling with brake fluid.
●A low fluid level may be due to wear of
the brake pads.
●If the brake pads are not worn and the
fluid level is low, check for leakage.
Other checks
●Visually check for fluid leaks or
damage and, using a spanner, check
joints and clamps for clearance.
Also, check hose and pipe protective
parts to see if they contact other parts
when turning the handle bars or due to
vibration when driving.

REPLENISHING BRAKE FLUID
●When adding brake fluid, be very
careful not to allow foreign materials
to enter the reserve tank.
Foreign materials can clog the
system, causing a reduction or
complete loss of braking ability.
●Do not fill past upper level.
This can cause brake fluid to leak out
of the reserve tank.
●Do not let brake fluid contact vehicle
parts as this damages painted areas.
If oil contacts parts, quickly clean the
fluid off using a dry cloth.
●Use recommended brake fluid as
other types can undergo chemical
changes.
●If brake fluid is exceedingly low, this
can be indication of damage to the
brake system.
●A leak in the brake system can lead
to reduced braking efficiency and
possible loss of braking ability.
