Brakes
Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as fluid level drops. If
the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm
should be replaced. Always fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is loosened or
removed to ensure proper diaphragm operation. Do not overfill. See page 60.
The front brakes are hydraulic disc brakes. They’re activated by squeezing the brake lever
toward the handlebar. The rear brake is a hydraulic disc brake activated by the foot brake
pedal. Both brakes are self-adjusting, but the following checks are recommended to keep
the brake systems in good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used
heavily under normal operation.
Overfilling the master cylinder will result in brake failure. Without room to expand,
the excess fluid will cause the brakes to apply automatically, which could result is
serious injury or death. Always maintain the fluid level between the MIN and MAX
marks. See page 60.
