98Use only the designated quali-
ty brake fluid. Otherwise, the
rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can
be used.
8Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Mixing fluids may
result in a harmful chemical
reaction and lead to poor
brake performance.
8Be careful that water does not
enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significant-
ly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in
vapor lock. Recommended brake fluid:

EAU00732Inspecting the brake fluid
level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air
enter the brake system, possibly
causing the brakes to become inef-
fective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level
and fill when necessary.
Observe these precautions:
8When checking the fluid level,
make sure the top of the mas-
ter cylinder is level by turning
the handlebars.

6. Insert a new cotter pin into the
axle nut and bend the end of
the cotter pin as shown. If the
notch in the axle nut and the
cotter pin hole do not match,
tighten the nut slightly to align
them.

EAU00769Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore,
the chain must be serviced regular-
ly. This service is especially neces-
sary when riding in dusty areas.
This motorcycle is equipped with a
sealed type chain. Steam cleaning,
high-pressure washes, and sol-
vents can damage chain so do not
use these for cleaning it. Use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubri-
cate it with SAE 30 ~ 50W motor
oil. Do not use any other lubricants
on the drive chain. They may con-
tain solvents that could damage
the sealed chain.

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled “Energy
Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced
component life and poor engine performance.
