FRONT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The level of the fluid in master cylinder reservoir must
never be below the minimum value, which can be
checked from the sight glass (1) on the side of master
cylinder body.
A decrease of the fluid level will let air into the system,
hence an extension of the lever stroke.
WARNING*: If the brake lever feels
mushy when pulled, there may be air in
the brake lines or the brake may be de -
fective. Since it is dangerous to operate
the motorcycle under such conditions,
have the brake system immediately
checked by the Husqvarna Dealer.
CAUTION*: Do not spill brake fluid onto
any painted surface or light lens.
CAUTION*: Do not mix two brands of flu -
id. Completely change the brake fluid in
the brake system if you wish to switch
to another fluid brand.
CAUTION*: Brake fluid may cause irrita -
tion. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In
case of contact, flush thoroughly with
water and call a doctor if your eyes
were exposed.
