Rieju Spike

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

The Rieju Spike uses brake fluid with a capacity range between minimum and maximum values. The data covers 3 configurations of this model.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
Spike 50 (2012-2012)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
Spike 50 (2003-2011)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
Spike X 50 (2003-2011)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.

Additional Notes

  • All three configurations of the Rieju Spike listed in the specifications share the same brake fluid fill guidance: the level is to be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir.
  • The Spike 50 appears across two separate specification entries, one covering 2003-2011 and another covering 2012, each carrying identical fill guidance for the hydraulic brake system.
  • The Spike X 50, spanning 2003-2011, mirrors the standard Spike 50 brake fluid specification exactly, with no deviation in fill range guidance between the two variants.
  • A min-to-max fill range, rather than a precise volume figure, is characteristic of brake fluid reservoir servicing, where the fluid level is checked visually against reservoir markings rather than measured by quantity.
  • All entries are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the specifications apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding service scenarios.
  • The hydraulic brake system note present across all rows confirms the specifications apply to a fluid-actuated braking setup, as opposed to a purely mechanical cable-operated system.
