BRAKE FLUID. Honda CBR125R

MAINTENANCE

BRAKE FLUID

Spilled fluid can damage painted, plastic or rubber parts. Place a rag over these parts whenever the system is serviced.

• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are not compatible with each other.

• Do not allow foreign material to enter the system when filling the reservoir.

• When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads

for wear (page 3-22).

• A low fluid level may be due to wear of the brake pads. If the brake pads are worn and caliper pistons are pushed out, this accounts for a low fluid level. If the brake pads are not worn and fluid level is low, check the entire system for leaks

(page 3-23).
