CAUTION:
After installing the brake hose holders,
make sure the brake hose does not contact

correct its twist.
Brake fluid
1. Fill:
Brake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches “LOWER”
level line a.
WARNING
Use only the designated quality brake
fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
