Rear Brake Fluid Level

1. To check the rear brake fluid level, remove right side cover.

Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position.

2. View the brake fluid through the reservoir. The fluid should

be clear and at a level between minimum (MIN) and

maximum (MAX) marks on the side of the reservoir. Add

brake fluid if necessary.

Add Rear Brake Fluid

Do not operate the rear brake while its reservoir cover is removed. Fluid could overflow from the

reservoir and cause air to enter the fluid system. Air in the brake fluid system could cause the brakes

to malfunction.

Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed, clean container. Using the wrong brake fluid, or allowing

contaminants into the brake fluid system, can damage the system resulting in brake malfunction.
