Brake Fluid Level Inspection
WARNING!
Do not spill brake fluid on painted surfaces;
the finish could be damaged. Spilling brake fluid on the
ABS body plastics will cause them to crack. Clean off any
brake fluid spills immediately.
Always place a shop towel under the master cylinder
reservoir prior to removing cover/cap.
Low fluid levels may indicate worn brake pads or a leak in
the hydraulic system. Inspect the brake pads for wear
and/or the hydraulic system for leaks. Use only new DOT 4
brake fluid from a sealed container.
Front Brake
Inspect the level of the front
brake fluid through the sight
glass (B). If the fluid level is
visibly below the low level
indicator (C), brake fluid must
be added. Clean any dirt or
debris from the cover (A)
before opening the reservoir.
1. Remove the two screws (A) securing the cover onto the
reservoir.
2. Add new DOT 4 brake fluid.
3. Inspect the cover seal, ensuring that it is free of any
wear or damage and that it is positioned correctly.
4. Install the cover and tighten the screws.
