Checking the rear brake fluid level
Warning
Danger of accidents
An insufficient brake fluid level will cause the brake system to fail.
If the brake fluid level drops below the specified marking or the specified value, the brake system is
leaking or the brake linings are worn down.
–
Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized
Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)

Make sure that brake fluid for the front and rear brake is changed in accordance with the service
schedule. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
