CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
TIP
• Place the vehicle on the centerstand.
• Make sure the vehicle is upright.
2. 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 perfor-
mance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the brake fluid and could
cause vapor lock.
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
TIP
In order to ensure a correct reading of the
brake fluid level, make sure the top of the
brake master cylinder reservoir is horizontal.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT DISC BRAKE
1. Adjust:
• Brake lever position
(distance “a” from the throttle grip to the
brake lever)
TIP
• While pushing the brake lever forward, turn
the adjusting dial “1” until the brake lever is in
the desired position.
• Be sure to align the setting on the adjusting
dial with the arrow mark “2” on the brake
lever.
WARNING
EWA13060
• After adjusting the brake lever position,
make sure the pin on the brake lever
holder is firmly inserted in the hole in the
adjusting dial.
