Inspecting the brake fluid level

Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes
to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level and replenish when
necessary.
Observe these precautions:

1. When checking the fluid level, make

sure the top of the master cylinder is
level by turning the handlebars.

2. Use only the designated quality brake

fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.

NOTE:

If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be
used.

1. Minimum level mark “LOWER”

LOWER

Front

Rear

Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
