Inspecting the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter
the brake system, possibly causing the
brakes to become ineffective. Before
riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark and
replenish when necessary. A low brake
fluid level may indicate worn brake pads
and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure to check
the brake pads for wear and the brake
system for leakage.

Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level, make
sure the top of the master cylinder
reservoirs are level.
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake
performance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT 4
