CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL/
CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS
WARNING
_
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid
that is already in the system. Mixing
brake fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction, leading to poor brake
performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.
CAUTION:
_
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
NOTE:
_
• If DOT 4 brake fluid is not available, DOT 3
brake fluid can be used.
• In order to ensure a correct reading of the
brake fluid level, make sure the top of the
brake fluid reservoir is horizontal.
3. Install:
• headlight assembly
Refer to “INSTALLING THE HEADLIGHT
ASSEMBLY”.
