Brake Fluid Level Inspection
Before riding, check that the brake fluid level is above the low mark
and replenish whenever necessary. Brake fluid reservoir is located
under the hood. Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the brake
system, possibly causing the brakes to become ineffective.
Observe These Precautions:
• When checking the fluid level, make sure the vehicle is on a
level surface.
• Use only the designated quality brake fluid. Otherwise, the
rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leaks and poor brake
performance.
• Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may
result in a harmful chemical reaction and may lead to poor
brake performance.
• Be careful that water does not enter the master cylinder
reservoir. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and lead to poor brake performance.
• Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.
• As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake fluid level
to gradually go down. A low brake fluid level may indicate
worn
