1. Rear brake leverThe rear brake lever is located on the
left handlebar grip. To apply the rear
brake, pull the lever toward the han-
dlebar grip.
This model is equipped with a unifi ed
brake system.
When pulling the rear brake lever, the
rear brake and a portion of the front
brake are applied. For full braking
performance, apply both brake levers
simultaneously.TIP● As the unified brake system is
mechanical, additional free play
can be felt in the front brake lever
when the rear brake lever is be-
ing pulled.
● The unified brake system does
not function when the front brake
is applied alone.

tem, reducing braking perfor-
mance.
● Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
uid from a sealed container.● Use only the specified brake
fluid; otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage.● Refill with the same type of
brake uid. Adding a brake u-
id other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.● Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reser-
voir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock.

NOTICEBrake fluid may damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled uid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal
for the brake fluid level to gradually
