16. Brake
16.1. Brake fluid
Brake fluid level
With the scooter in an upright position,
check the front and rear fluid level. It should
be above the lower level mark. If the level is
at or below the lower level mark "L", check
the brake pads for wear.
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn, have your brake system
inspected for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is DOT 4
brake fluid from a sealed container, or an
equivalent.
Other checks:
Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check
for deterioration or cracks in the hoses
and fittings.

Warning: Brake fluid is very caustic
and can damage paint, chrome and
plastic. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
16.2. Brake pad wear
Brake pad wear depends upon the severity
of usage, the type of riding, and road
conditions. (Generally, the pads will wear
faster on wet and dirty roads.) Inspect the
pads at each regular maintenance interval.
Front brake
Check the cutout in each pad.
If either pad is worn to the cutout, replace
both pads as a set. See your KYMCO dealer
for this service.
