A
WARNING
* The brake system of this vehicle is
filled
with
a gly-
col-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 run-
ning and
immediately
discolor
painted
surfaces.
Check
the brake hoses and hose joints for cracks
and oil leakage
before
riding.
