7. CONTROL AND PARTS FUNCTIONS
Front and Rear Brakes
The brake fluid level should be checked before each ride. The
reservoir is located under the seat. The fluid should be kept
between the maximum and minimum marks.
CAUTION
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what is necessary and
discard the rest. Do not store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture
from the air. This causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid
to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of
severe injury.
Front and Rear Brakes
The front and rear brakes are located on the inside of the tight
floor board and are operated by the right foot. The front and rear
brakes are hydraulically activated disc type brakes which are
activated by one pedal only.
Always test brake pedal travel and reservoir fluid level before
riding. When squeezed, the pedal should feel firm. Any
sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master
cylinder fluid pedal which must be corrected before riding.
Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
