Checking the brake fluid level

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the

brake system, possibly causing it to become inef-

fective.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above

the minimum level mark and replenish if neces-

sary. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn

brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the

brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the brake

pads for wear and the brake system for leakage.
