!
Fill to the proper level.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
For a correct reading of the brake fluid level,
make sure that the top of the handlebar brake
master cylinder reservoir is horizontal.
Brake fluid may corrode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
S
Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
fluids may deteriorate the rubber seals,
causing leakage and poor brake perfor-
mance.
S
Refill with the same type of fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
S
When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the boil-
ing point of the fluid and may cause vapor
lock.
