Configuration-specific service and fitment facts
These sourced values are shared by the specification sheet and the maintenance guides for this exact configuration.
- Brake fluid
- Honda DOT 3 brake fluid Verified
- Fluid handling
- Use the specified fresh fluid from a sealed container. Keep it clean and off paint; bleeding and hydraulic repairs require the correct service procedure.
- Fluid compatibility
- Honda DOT 3. DOT 5 is incompatible. A low reservoir level requires inspection for leaks or worn brake pads rather than only topping up.
