Gas Gas SM
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Gas Gas SM uses brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include a 24 month change and a 10000 km or 12 month check. The data covers 5 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| SM 700 (2022- ) |
|
| SM 450 (2009-2009) |
|
| SM 515 (2009-2009) |
|
| SM 125 (2004-2007) |
|
| SM 250 (2004-2007) |

Additional Notes
- Across all Gas Gas SM variants listed, brake fluid is specified for a hydraulic brake system, meaning the fluid operates under pressure to actuate the brake calipers rather than through a mechanical linkage.
- The SM 125 and SM 250, both covering 2004-2007, share identical brake fluid specifications: a fill level maintained between the reservoir minimum and maximum marks, with a change interval of 24 months.
- The 24-month change interval applies under normal use conditions across all listed SM variants. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point, so time-based replacement intervals are standard practice regardless of mileage.
- The SM 450 and SM 515 are each listed for 2009 only, yet both carry the same 24-month change interval and min-to-max fill specification as the earlier 125 and 250 displacement models.
- The SM 700 from 2022 onward introduces an additional inspection step not present in the earlier variants: a fluid level check at 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. The 24-month full change interval is retained alongside this check.
- The "between min and max" capacity specification across all rows indicates a reservoir-level fill rather than a measured volume, meaning the correct level is determined visually against the reservoir markings rather than by a fixed quantity in milliliters or ounces.
