3.4a Remove the filler plug (arrow)...
3.4b ... and add oil to bring up the level in
the window
3.7 Brake fluid should be above the
Lower line in the window

screws (arrows) and lift off the cover
and diaphragm
4.4a Unclip the fuel hoses and move
them aside ...
4.4b ... then remove the securing strap
and lift off the battery cover
4 If the level is below the Minimum mark, remove the oil filler cap
from the left side of the crankcase and add enough oil of the
recommended grade and type to bring the level up to the Maximum
mark (see illustrations). Do not overfill.
Brake fluid
Refer to illustrations 3.7 and 3.9
5 In order to ensure proper operation of the hydraulic disc brake,
the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir must be properly
maintained,
6 With the motorcycle held level, turn the handlebars until the top of
the master cylinder is as level as possible.
7 Look closely at the inspection window in the master cylinder
reservoir. Make sure that the fluid level is above the Lower mark on the
reservoir (see illustration).
8 If the level is low, the fluid must be replenished. Before removing
the master cylinder cover, cover the fuel tank to protect it from brake
fluid spills (which will damage the paint) and remove all dust and dirt
from the area around the cover.
9 To replace brake fluid, remove the screws (see illustration) and
lift off the cover and rubber diaphragm. Note: Do not operate the front
brake with the cover removed.
10 Add new, clean brake fluid of the recommended type until the
level is above the inspection window. Do not mix different brands of
brake fluid in the reservoir, as they may not be compatible.
11 Reinstall the rubber diaphragm and the cover. Tighten the screws
evenly, but do not overtighten them.
12 Wipe any spilled fluid off the reservoir body and reposition and
tighten the brake lever and master cylinder assembly if it was moved.
13 If the brake fluid level was low, inspect the brake system for leaks.
4 Battery electrolyte level/specific gravity - check
Refer to illustrations 4.4a, 4.4b, 4.5a, 4.5b, 4.5c and 4.8
Caution: Be extremely careful when handling or working around the
battery. The electrolyte is very caustic and an explosive gas (hydrogen)
is given off when the battery is charging. Note: The first Steps describe
battery removal. If the electrolyte level is known to be sufficient it won't
be necessary to remove the battery.
1 This procedure applies to batteries that have removable filler
caps, which can be removed to add water to the battery. If the original
equipment battery has been replaced by a sealed maintenance-free
battery, the electrolyte can't be topped up.
2 Remove the seat (see Chapter 7).
3 If necessary for access to remove the battery, remove the side
covers (see Chapter 7).
4 If you're working on an XV535 equipped with an upper fuel tank,
detach the fuel hoses from their clips and move them aside. Remove
the securing strap and battery cover (see illustrations).
5 Remove the screws securing the battery cables tothe battery
terminals (remove the negative cable first, positive cable last) (see
