Checking the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes to
become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above
the minumum level mark and replenish, if
necessary. A low brake fluid level may indicate
worn brake pads and/or brakd system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the
brake pads for wear and the brake system for
leakage.
1. Minumum level mark
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the hood.
( See pages 8-7_8-8 for hood opening and closing
procedures.)
Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.
Use only the recommended quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor braking performance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion and lead to poor braking performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the brake
fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
