* This brake system is filled with an ethylene glycol-based DOT 4 brake fluid. Do not use or mix
different types of fluid such as silicone-based or petroleum-based.
* Do not use any brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers. Never reuse brake
fluid left over from the last servicing or which has been stored for a long period of time.
* When storing the brake fluid, seal the container completely and keep away from children.
* When replenishing brake fluid, take care not to get dust into fluid.
* When washing brake components, use new brake fluid. Never use cleaning solvent.
* A contaminated brake disc or brake pad reduces braking performance. Discard contaminated
pads and clean the disc with high quality brake cleaner or neutral detergent.
Immediately and completely wipe off any brake fluid contacting any part of the motorcycle. The
brake fluid reacts chemically with paint, plastics and rubber materials, etc., and will damage
them severely.
Do not operate the brake pedal with the pads
removed.
