Rear Drum Brake Fluid Reservoir

[MahatmaAndhi]

Hi guys,

Me again. I might be being really thick here, but I can't seem to locate the brake fluid reservoir for the back brake.
It's a Kawasaki ER5. The rear is a drum. This is the first time I've had a bike with a drum brake and I've looked all over, but I can't seem to find a reservoir to put brake fluid in.
Do drum brakes even have reservoirs? I can't find any mention of one in the service manual relating to the back brake.

Thanks guys.

I had a feeling that this was the case. But don't trust any conclusion that I reach myself.

Now go and have a look in cmsnl, you say you have a manual?

Before you do anything else to this bike ( or any other ) read, read and read the manual, then read it again.

Don't worry, we all started life with little to no knowledge, other than what god, mother nature and common sense gave/gives us.

I didn't touch the brakes in the end.
The front reservoir was pretty full, so I left it be. Never touched the back. Just wanted to check my fluid levels were okay.
I changed the oil and coolant. But, due to injury, haven't ridden it yet.
