TUONO 1000
BRAKE FLUID
NOTE This vehicle is fitted with front and rear disc brakes. Each brake system is operated by an independent hydraulic
circuit. The information provided below applies to both brake systems.
DANGER
Do not drive the vehicle if the brakes are worn or not operating correctly. The brakes are the vehicle’s
most important safety component and using the vehicle with the brakes in less than perfect operating
condition comprises a high probability of traffic accident, which can result in serious injury or death.
The brakes are significantly less effective on a wet road surface.
DANGER
If the road surface is wet, maintain a double braking distance, as both the brakes and the grip of the
tyres are significantly less effective in such conditions.
Water on brakes, whether due to a recent wash or picked up from a wet road surface, puddles or
drains, can result in significantly reduced brake efficiency.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in serious accidents, with the risk of serious personal
injury or death.
The brakes are essential to your safety. Do not drive the vehicle if the brakes on not in perfect
operating condition.
Always check the brakes before riding the motorcycle.
Brake fluid is an irritant. Avoid contact with the eyes or skin.
In the event of accidental contact, wash affected body parts thoroughly. In the event of accidental
contact with the eyes, contact an eye specialist or seek medical attention.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Avoid spillage. Brake fluid can damage plastic or painted parts.
DANGER
Do not use brake fluids other than the specified type. Never mix different types of fluids to top up the
level, as this will damage the brake system.
Do not use brake fluid from containers which have been kept open or in storage for long periods of
time.
Any sudden changes in slack or hardness in the brake levers are warning signs of problems with the
hydraulic circuits.
Ensure that the brake discs and brake linings have not come in contact with oil or grease. This is
particularly important after servicing or inspections.
Ensure that the brake lines are not twisted or worn.
Avoid accidental entry of water or dust into the circuit.
Wear latex gloves when servicing the hydraulic circuit.
DISC BRAKES
DANGER
The brakes are the vehicle’s most important safety component.
To ensure your personal safety, they must be in perfect working order and should be checked before every ride.
A dirty disc soils the pads.
Dirty pads must be replaced. Dirty or oily discs must be cleaned with a high-quality degreasing product.
If the vehicle is often used on wet road surfaces or on dusty or rough tracks, or if used in competition, reduce the
service intervals by half.
Check brake pads for wear.
When the brake pads are worn, the fluid level lowers to compensate for the wear.
The front brake fluid reservoir is on the right-hand side of the handlebar, next to the front brake lever.
The rear brake fluid reservoir is located under the right fairing.
Do not use the vehicle if the brake system leaks fluid.
COOLANT
DANGER
Coolant is toxic when swallowed; contact with the eyes or skin can cause irritation.
In the event of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly and repeatedly with water and seek
medical attention. If swallowed, induce vomiting, thoroughly rinse mouth and throat with water and
seek medical attention immediately.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DANGER
Avoid spilling coolant on hot engine parts, as it may ignite and produce invisible flames. Wear latex
gloves when servicing.
Do not use the vehicle when the coolant is below the minimum level.
The coolant mixture is a 50% solution of water and antifreeze. This solution is ideal for most operating temperatures and
provides good corrosion protection.
