Checking/adjusting the front brake-fl uid level
CAUTION
Brake fl uid damages paint and plastic parts! Before fi lling
the tank with brake fl uid, check the brake lining for wear
and the brake system for leaks. Only use new brake fl uid of
specifi cation DOT 4. Brake fl uid is exposed to high tempera-
tures and absorbs moisture from the ambient air.
NOTE
Cover the painted parts to avoid damage.
Checking the brake-fl uid level:
- Turn the handlebar until the line near the "LOWER" mark
on the brake-fl uid tank is horizontal.
- The brake-fl uid level must be between the "LOWER"
and "UPPER" marks.
- If air bubbles are visible: check the brake lining for wear and
replenish the brake fl uid as necessary.
Replenishing the brake fl uid:
- Remove the cover (1) with the rubber gasket.
- Replenish the brake fl uid up to the "UPPER" mark and reinsert
the rubber gasket.
- Reinstall on the cover.
