sure that the top of the handlebar brake master
cylinder reservoir is horizontal.
CAUTION:

tic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immedi-
ately.

Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
fluids may deteriorate the rubber seals, caus-

may result in a harmful chemical reaction lead-
ing to poor brake performance.

When refilling, be careful that water does not
enter the brake master cylinder reservoir. Wa-
ter will significantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may cause vapor lock.
