a. While pushing the brake lever forward, turn
the adjusting knob “1” in or out until the brake
lever is in the desired position.
TIP
Be sure to align the setting on the adjusting knob
with the arrow mark “2” on the brake lever.
WARNING
EWA13050
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever
can indicate the presence of air in the brake
system. Before the vehicle is operated, the
air must be removed by bleeding the brake
system. Air in the brake system will consid-
erably reduce braking performance.
NOTICE
ECA13490
After adjusting the brake lever position,
make sure there is no brake drag.

CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
TIP
• Place the vehicle on a suitable stand.
• Make sure the vehicle is upright.
2. Release the backrest.
3. Remove:
• Passenger seat
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 4-1.
4. Check:
• Brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark “a”
→
Add the
recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
WARNING
EWA13090
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction,
leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
NOTICE
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
