The maintenance of the brake fluid must be carefully taken care of because it is a crucial part of the vehicle. Not only the “hardware” (brake pad, disc brake, calipers, and others) but also the “software” (fluid) that must carefully maintain.
Brake Fluid Reservoir
If you ever take notice, the brake fluid reservoir of the motorcycle is closed-shut because it may not be open and closed at will and add the brake fluid.
Why? The brake fluid reservoir must not be contaminated with high humidity air to avoid any water into the system for it may interfere with the optimum performance of the brakes. Please take note of the brake fluid specification of your vehicle, due to its different boiling point of the fluid.
