Brake fluid
Checking front brake fluid
level
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow air
to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking
efficiency.
Check brake fluid level
regularly.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park the motorcycle.
Move handlebars into straight-
ahead position.
Read off the brake fluid level at
the reservoir

The brake fluid level in the
brake-fluid reservoir drops
due to brake pad wear.
