Note: Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand. Make sure that the motorcycle is upright.
2. Check: brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark (a) → Add the recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
- Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
[A] Front brake | 
[B] Rear brake |
Warning!
- Use only the designated brake fluid. Other brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and poor brake performance.
- Refill with the same type of brake fluid that is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction, leading to poor brake performance.
- When refilling, be careful that water does not enter the reservoir. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
Caution! Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
Note: In order to ensure a correct reading of the brake fluid level, make sure that the top of the reservoir is horizontal.
