Checking the brake oil level (03_05, 03_06)
The brake fluid reservoir has an inspection sight glass; the quantity of liquid contained
in the sight glass indicates the level of liquid in the reservoir.
When the sight glass is full, the level inside the reservoir exceeds the MIN level; when
it is partially full, the level drops to the MIN level; when it is fully empty, the level of
fluid in the reservoir is below the MIN level.
The brake fluid level may fall due to wear on the brake pads. In case the pad wear is
below the minimum mark, contact an Authorised Service Centre to have the braking
system thoroughly checked. If you need to top up the level, follow the steps listed
below. Unscrew the 2 screws «B», remove the reservoir cap «C » and pour in the
required quantity of fluid (the brake fluid level must be above minimum). Place the
handlebar in the riding position and pay attention not to tilt the vehicle in order to keep
the brake fluid reservoir in horizontal position when checking the fluid level.
CAUTION
THE SYSTEM MUST ONLY BE TOPPED UP WITH DOT4 TYPE BRAKE FLUID.
WARNING
IN NORMAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IT IS ADVISABLE TO REPLACE THE
ABOVE-MENTIONED FLUID EVERY 2 YEAR. NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID CON-
TAINED IN CONTAINERS WHICH ARE ALREADY OPEN OR PARTIALLY USED.
CAUTION
THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. THEREFORE, WHEN
TOPPING UP, AVOID LETTING IT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE PAINTED
PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC,
