ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL LEVER AND FRONT
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
On the RS models the adjuster (2), located on the con-
trol lever, allows adjusting of the free play (a). Free play
(a) must be at least 0.1 in.
The level of the fluid in master cylinder reservoir
must never be below the minimum value (1), which
can be checked from the window on the rear side of
the master cylinder body.
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
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.
