2.Periodic Maintenance XCITING S 400
Brake Fluid
The KYMCO XCITING S 400 uses DOT 4 brake fluid that should be inspected after
3,000 mi (5,000 km) of use. It should be flushed and bled every 12 months, 6,000 mi
(10,000 km), whenever the brakes feel spongy, or if the brake system has been
taken apart and rebuilt. Always use fresh brake fluid from a tightly sealed container.
SAFETY FIRST: Protective gloves and eyewear are recommended at this
point.
Checking Front Brake Fluid
1. Straighten the Handlebar, check brake fluid in the Right Reservoir. Keep the
level between the Upper Mark and Lower Mark.
2. If level lowers near the Lower Mark, check the brake lining for a worn condition.
3. If the brake lining is not worn exceeding a specified limit, most likely there is a
leakage of brake fluid; go to a dealer for repair.
Viewing Window of Front Brake Fluid
Warning: Brake fluid is very caustic and can damage paint, chrome and
plastic. Wipe up any spills immediately
