8 Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemi-
cal reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
8 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.
8 Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8 Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.
