Maintenance

Rear Brake Fluid

Change the brake fluid at the intervals recommended in the

periodic maintenance table beginning on page 91. Always

add brake fluid from a new, unopened container. Always use

the recommended fluid. See page 151.
1. Position the motorcycle on level ground in the fully

upright position.

2. The rear brake fluid reservoir is located near the rear

brake pedal. View the reservoir from the right side of

the vehicle.

3. Wipe the fluid container and the area around the

reservoir cover with a clean cloth.

4. If the fluid level is low, inspect brake pads as outlined on

page 110. If pads are not worn beyond the service limit,

inspect the brake system for leaks.

5. Remove the cover and diaphragm. The fluid level should

be above the minimum indicator mark on the reservoir

body. Add brake fluid as needed. Do not overfill.

6. Reinstall the cover and diaphragm.
7. Wipe away any fluid spills. Check for signs of brake

fluid leaks around hoses, fittings, reservoir, and brake

calipers.
