A. Brake Fluid Reservoir
B. Upper Level Line (MAX)
C. Lower Level Line (MIN)
If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line,
check for fluid leaks in the brake lines and fill the
reservoir to the upper level line.
WARNING
Mixing two types and brands of fluid for use
in the brake lowers the brake fluid boiling
point and could reduce brake effectiveness.
Change the fluid in the brake system com-
pletely if the fluid level is low but the type and
brand of the fluid already in the reservoir are
unknown.
Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and
check for fluid leakage around the fittings.
WARNING
Air in brake line can make the brake feel
mushy or soft.
This may cause reduced
braking performance or brake failure and
result in an accident.
If brake lever travel
is excessive or the brake feels mushy, have
an authorized Kawasaki dealer inspect it
immediately.
Fluid Change
Have the brake fluid changed by an authorized
Kawasaki dealer.
Brake Disc and Brake Pad
Disc and brake pad wear is automatically compen-
sated for and has no effect on the brake pedal ac-
tion. There are no parts that require adjustment on
the brake.
