Foot Brake
The foot brake pedal is located on the right side floor board of
the vehicle. Push down on the pedal to apply both the front and
rear brakes. When pressed, the pedal should feel firm. A soft
brake pedal would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master
cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding.
Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.

Foot Brake Fluid Reservoir and Level Indicator
Check the fluid level of foot brake fluid reservoir before each
use of the vehicle. The foot brake fluid reservoir is near the right
foot rest under the front access panel. The fluid level can be
viewed on the side of the fluid reservoir. If the fluid level is lower
than the “lower” mark, refill with brake fluid DOT4 as necessary.
WARNING
An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake
lock-up, which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain
brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill. Never
store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is
hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the
air. The moisture causes the drop of boiling temperature of
the brake fluid, which can lead to early brake fade and the
possibility of accident or severe injury. After opening a bottle of
brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
