Brake fluid
1. Fill:
9Brake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches “LOWER” level
line a.
w
9Use only the designated quality brake fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
9Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemi-
cal reaction and lead to poor performance.
9Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
cC
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.

CHASFRONT FORK
EC556000
HANDLING NOTE
NOTE:
The front fork requires careful attention. So it is
recommended that the front fork be maintained
at the dealers.
cC
To prevent an accidental explosion of air,
the following instructions should be ob-
served:
9The front fork with a built-in piston rod
has a very sophisticated internal con-
struction and is particularly sensitive to
foreign material.
Use enough care not to allow any foreign
material to come in when the oil is re-
placed or when the front fork is disassem-
bled and reassembled.
9Before removing the base valves or front
forks, be sure to extract the air from the air
chamber completely.
