KYMCO Mongoose 250, Owner'S Manual

Page: 128 / 160

As the brake pads wear, brake fluid level
drops, automatically compensating for wear.
There are no adjustments to perform, but
fluid level and pad wear must be inspected
periodically. The system must be inspected
frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If the brake lever travel become excessive
and the brake pads are not worn beyond the
recommended limit (page 115~117), There is
probably air in the brake system and it must
be bled. See your authorized KYMCO dealer
for this service.
To prevent damage to the brake system, use
only fluid from a sealed container. Never
allow contaminants (dirt, water, etc.) to enter
the brake fluid reservoir.
Brake fluid can damage paint and plastic, so
handle the fluid with care. When adding
brake fluid, be sure the reservoir is
horizontal before removing the cover to
prevent accidental spilling.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
