The level of fluid in the pump reservoir must never
be below the minimum value (1) indicated on the
see-through reservoir.
A decrease of the fluid level will let air into the sys-
tem, hence an extension of the lever stroke.
WARNING*: If the brake lever feels mushy
when pulled, there may be air in the brake
lines or the brake may be defective. Since it is
dangerous to operate the motorcycle under
such conditions, have the brake system im-
mediately checked by the SWM Dealer.
CAUTION*: Do not spill brake fluid onto any
painted surface or light lens.
CAUTION*: Do not mix two brands of fluid.
Completely change the brake fluid in the brake
3
system if you wish to switch to another fluid
brand.
CAUTION*: Brake fluid may cause irritation.
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case of con-
tact, flush thoroughly with water and call a
doctor if your eyes were exposed.
REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The level must be above the mark (1) indicated in
the figure.
A decrease of the fluid level will let air into the sys-
tem, hence an extension of the lever stroke.
WARNING*: If the brake pedal feels mushy
when pulled, there may be air in the brake
lines or the brake may be defective. Since it is
dangerous to operate the motorcycle under
such conditions, have the brake system im-
mediately checked by the SWM Dealer.
