Checking the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes to be-
come ineffective.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above
the minimum level mark and replenish, if neces-
sary. 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.
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the
hood. (See pages 8-17–8-19 for hood opening
and closing procedures.)
Observe these precautions:
G
When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.
G
Use only the recommended quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
