Front Brake
WARNING
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what is necessary and discard the
rest. Do not store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic,
meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. This causes the boiling
temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the
possibility of serious injury.
The front brake is hydraulic disc brakes which is depressing the foot
pedal on the side of the right floorboard. These brakes are
self-adjusting and require no adjustment.
The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in
good operating condition. How often they need checking depends upon
the type of driving that has been done.
Keep fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs as described see
“7.Control and part functions”. Normal functioning of the diaphragm is to
extend into the reservoir as fluid lever drops. If the fluid lever is low and
the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is indicated and the diaphragm
should be replaced. Always fill the reservoir as indicated whenever the
cover is loosened or removed to insure proper diaphragm operation.
Use DOT 3 brake fluid.
