Insufficient brake or clutch fluid may al-

low air to enter the brake or clutch sys-

tems, possibly causing them to become

ineffective.

Before riding, check that the brake and

clutch fluids are above the minimum

level marks and replenish if necessary.

A low brake or clutch fluid level may in-

dicate brake or clutch system leakage

and/or worn brake pads. If the brake or

clutch levels are low, be sure to check

the brake or clutch systems for leakage

and the brake pads for wear.

Observe these precautions:

● When checking the brake and

clutch fluid levels, make sure that

the top of each reservoir is level.

● Use only the recommended quality

brake fluid, otherwise the rubber

seals may deteriorate, causing

leakage and poor braking or clutch

performance.

● Refill with the same type of brake

fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a

harmful chemical reaction and

lead to poor braking or clutch per-

formance.

● Be careful that water does not en-

ter the brake or clutch fluid reser-

voir when refilling. Water will

significantly lower the boiling point

of the fluid and may result in vapor

lock.

● Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-

ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-

ways clean up spilled fluid

immediately.

● As the brake pads wear, it is nor-

mal for the brake fluid level to grad-

ually go down. However, if the
