Checking the brake oil level (03_15, 03_16)
The brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a sight glass « A » made of transparent ma-
terial; the quantity of liquid contained in the sight glass indicates the level of liquid in
the reservoir.
When the sight glass « A » is full, the level inside the reservoir exceeds the MIN level;
when it is partially full, the level drops to the MIN level; when it is fully empty, the level
of fluid in the reservoir is below the MIN level.
The brake fluid level may fall due to wear on the brake pads. In case the pad wear is
below the minimum mark, contact an
Authorised Service Centre to have the braking
system thoroughly checked. If you need to top up the level, follow the steps listed
below. Unscrew the 2 screws "
B ", remove the tank cap " C " and pour in the required
quantity of fluid (the brake fluid level must be above minimum). Place the handlebar
in the riding position and pay attention not to tilt the vehicle in order to keep the brake
fluid reservoir in horizontal position when checking the fluid level.
CAUTION
TOP UPS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT WITH DOT 4 CLASSIFIED BRAKE
FLUID.
WARNING
IN NORMAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IT IS ADVISABLE TO REPLACE THE

TAINED IN CONTAINERS WHICH ARE ALREADY OPEN OR PARTIALLY USED.
