1CAUTION
Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause
irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush
with large amounts of water and get medical attention.
Swallowing large amounts of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid can
cause digestive discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical
attention. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN. (00240a)
CAUTION
D.O.T. 4 brake fluid will damage painted and molded-in
color surfaces it comes in contact with. Always use cau-
tion and protect surfaces from spills whenever brake
work is performed. Failure to comply can result in cos-
metic damage. (00239a)
CAUTION
Cover handlebar switches with a shop towel before add-
ing brake fluid to front master cylinder reservoir. Spilling
brake fluid on handlebar switches may render them inop-
erative.
See Figure 2-22. View reservoir sightglass and verify fluid
presence. Sightglass should appear dark if fluid is present. If
sightglass is not dark, add brake fluid. See Service Manual.
Use only D.O.T. 4 HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID (Part No.
99953-99A). Wash all residue of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid spills off
vehicle with water.
ABS SYSTEM (POLICE VEHICLES–
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)
The ABS indicator lamp in the tachometer will flash when the
ignition switch is turned on, and remains flashing until the
motorcycle reaches 6 MPH (9.7 KPH). The lamp will then turn
off.
If the ABS lamp turns on solid at ignition-ON, or does not turn
off when vehicle exceeds 6 MPH (9.7 KPH), it is an indication
of a current fault condition in the ABS system. See the Police
Models Service Manual Supplement for instructions on plac-
ing the ABS system into test mode and extracting diagnostic
trouble codes from the ABS system computer.
