Checking the brake fluid level

1. Minimum level mark

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to 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,

if necessary. A low brake fluid level may indi-

cate 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.

The brake fluid reservoir is located under the

hood. (See pages 8-7–8-8 for hood opening

and closing procedures.)

Observe these precautions:

● When checking the fluid level, make sure

the top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.

● Use only the recommended quality brake

fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may de-

teriorate, causing leakage and poor braking

performance.

● Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mix-

ing fluids may result in a harmful chemical

reaction and lead to poor braking perfor-

mance.

● Be careful that water does not enter the

brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water

will significantly lower the boiling point of

the fluid and may result in vapor lock.

Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
