Front Brake Fluid Level
-
Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Position the handlebars so that the fluid reservoir is level.
-
View the fluid level through the sight glass 1. The fluid should be clear. Replace cloudy or contaminated fluid.
-
The fluid level should be above the minimum indicator mark in the sight glass.
-
If the fluid level is low, inspect brake pads as outlined in the Brake Disc Inspection/Cleaning section. If pads are not worn beyond the service limit, inspect the brake system for leaks. Check for signs of brake fluid leaks around hoses, fittings, reservoir, and brake calipers.
-
Add brake fluid if necessary. See Front Brake Fluid.
