Maintenance and Adjustment
Disc Brake Fluid
Inspect the level of brake fluid in both
reservoirs and change the brake fluid in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as
recommended in the Specification section.
The brake fluid must also be changed if it
becomes, or is suspected of having become
contaminated with moisture or any other
contaminants.

6. Reservoir cap
The brake fluid level in the reservoirs must be
kept between the upper/max and lower/min
level lines (reservoir held horizontal).
Remove the reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level line using
new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container.
Fit the diaphragm and diaphragm support
ring into the fluid reservoir.
Fit the new reservoir cap and carefully screw
it down, ensuring it is fully tightened.
Warning
Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it
will absorb moisture from the air.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce
the boiling point of the brake fluid causing
a reduction in braking efficiency.
Because of this, always replace brake fluid
in accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Always use new brake fluid from a sealed
container and never use fluid from an
unsealed container or from one which has
been previously opened.
Do not mix different brands or grades of
brake fluid.
Check for fluid leakage around brake
fittings, seals and joints and also check the
brake hoses for splits, deterioration and
damage.
Always rectify any faults before riding.
Failure to observe and act upon any of
these items may cause a dangerous riding
condition leading to loss of control and an
accident.
