Maintenance Washer fluid
The brake/clutch fluid constantly
absorbs moisture from the air. This
lowers the boiling point of the
brake/clutch fluid. If the boiling point
is too low, vapour pockets may form
in the brake system when the
brakes are applied hard.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time should never be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.

Washer fluid is used when wiping

you can check the level with a quick
visual inspection.
䳜 Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if
necessary. Plain water may be
