BRAKE FLUID
Spilled fluid can damage painted, plastic or rubber
parts. Place a shop towel over these parts whenever
the system is serviced.
• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are
not compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the system
when filling the reservoir.
• When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads
for wear (page 3-23).
• A low fluid level may be due to wear of the brake
pads. If the brake pads are worn and the caliper
pistons are pushed out, this accounts for a low
reservoir level. If the brake pads are not worn
and the fluid level is low, check the entire system
for leaks (page 3-24).
FRONT
Turn the handlebar so the reservoir is level and
check the brake fluid level through the sight glass.
If the fluid level is near the "LOWER" level mark,
remove the screws, reservoir cap, set plate and dia-
phragm.
