Caution:
Since the brake system of this motorcycle
has glycol based brake fluid, do not use or
mix different types of brake fluid such as
silicon based and petroleum-based fluid
for refilling the system, otherwise damage
sustained will be serious.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old
or used or unsealed containers.
Do not squeeze the brake lever while the
reservoir cap is removed. Otherwise brake
fluid will sometimes spout out.
