* The brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a
glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different
types of fluid such as silicone-based and petro-
leum-based fluids. Do not use any brake fluid taken
from old, used or unsealed containers. Never re-use
brake fluid left over from the last servicing or stored
for a long period of time.
* Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running
and immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check
the brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and oil
leakage before riding.
