NOTE:
●The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
●Hydraulic brake service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the bra-
ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
