FRONT BRAKE

• Turn the handlebars to the left and right to
make sure the brake hose does not touch other
parts (e.g., wire harness, cables, leads). Cor-
rect if necessary.
3. Fill:
• Brake master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the specified
brake fluid)
WARNING
EWA13540
• 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 master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the boil-
ing 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.
