BRAKE FLUID LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Check:
• Fluid level
Fluid level is under the “LOWER” level line
a → Fill to the proper level.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
NOTE:
For a correct reading of the brake fluid level, make
sure that the top of the handlebar brake master
cylinder reservoir is horizontal.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may corrode painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immedi-
ately.
WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other flu-
ids may deteriorate the rubber seals, causing
leakage and poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of fluid. Mixing fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction lead-
ing to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does not
enter the brake master cylinder reservoir. Wa-
ter will significantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may cause vapor lock.
BRAKE PAD INSPECTION
1. Apply the brake lever.
2. Inspect:
• Brake pad
Wear indicator 1 nearly contacts the brake
disc → Replace as a set.
Wear limit a:
4.7 mm (0.19 in)
