Brake Fluid (Hand Brake)
Check the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder before each use of
the vehicle. The master cylinder is
located on the left handlebar.
Maintain the fluid level 1/4" (6
mm) below the top edge of the
master cylinder. Do not overfill.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface. Make sure the han-
dlebars are straight.
2. View the fluid level through
the indicator window (eye) on
the top of the master cylinder. The eye will appear dark when the
fluid level is full. When fluid is low, the eye will be clear.
3. Add the recommended fluid as needed. Do not overfill.
Brake Fluid (Auxiliary Foot Brake)
Check the brake fluid level fre-
quently for the auxiliary brake sys-
tem. The reservoir is located under
the seat or near the foot brake. Main-
tain the fluid level between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks.
The brakes should feel firm when
they're applied. Spongy or weak
brakes may indicate a fluid leak or
low fluid level. A low fluid level may also mean that brake pads are
worn and need to be replaced. Do not operate the vehicle with spongy or
weak brakes. See your dealer for service.
