Brake fluid
1. Fill:
Brake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches “LOWER”
level line a.
WARNING
Use only the designated quality brake
fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT #4
2. Air bleed:
Brake system
Refer to “BRAKE SYSTEM AIR
BLEEDING” section in the CHAPTER

3. Inspect:
Brake fluid level
Fluid at lower level → Fill up.
