Brakes
Check Rear Brake Fluid Level
1. To check the rear brake fluid level, remove right side cover.
Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position.
2. View the brake fluid through the reservoir. The fluid should
be clear and at a level between minimum (MIN) and
maximum (MAX) marks on the side of the reservoir. Add
brake fluid if necessary.
Add Rear Brake Fluid
•
Do not operate the rear brake while its reservoir cover is removed. Fluid could overflow from the
reservoir and cause air to enter the fluid system. Air in the brake fluid system could cause the brakes
to malfunction.
•
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed, clean container. Using the wrong brake fluid, or allowing
contaminants into the brake fluid system, can damage the system resulting in brake malfunction.
