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

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 Phillips screws, 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.
