Brake fluid replacement
Front brake lever free play
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead
to poor brake performance.
Be careful that water does not enter
the master cylinder reservoirs when
refilling. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and may
result in vapor lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
Have your dealer check the
c
cause if the brake fluid level goes
d
down.
Complete fluid replacement should be
done only by trained service personnel. Have
your dealer replace the following components
during periodic maintenance or when they are
damaged or leaking.
Replace the oil seals every two years.
Replace the brake hoses every four years.
The front brake lever should have a free
play of zero mm (zero in) at the lever
end. If not, have your dealer check the
brake system.
