A WARNING
* The brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a
glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different
types of fluid such as silicone-based and petro-
leum-based fluids. Do not use any brake fluid taken
from old, used or unsealed containers. Never re-use
brake fluid left over from the last servicing or stored
for a long period of time.
* Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running
and immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check
the brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and fluid
leakage before riding.
BRAKE PADS
Front brake
• The extent of brake pad wear can be checked by observing
the grooved limit line
® on the pad. When the wear exceeds
the grooved limit line, replace the pads with new ones.
