NOTICE
ECA1TP1009
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake master cylinder, make sure the brake
pipe “a” touches the projection “b” on the
brake caliper bracket as shown.
3. Install:
• Rear brake hose holder “1”
TIP
Make sure that the projection “a” on the rear
brake hose holder contacts the engine bracket
(rear lower side) “2” as shown in the illustration.
4. Fill:
• Brake fluid reservoir
(with the specified amount of the specified
brake fluid)
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

Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
