This is probably a dumb question but this is my first quad..

I need to add brake fluid, do you just remove the top of the master cylinder and add it?

yea.. take the 2 allen bolts out and put DOT 4 fluid in there.. you can add DOT 3 but i wouldn't recommend it.. DOT 4 holds up against heat better

If your master cylender is low check your brake pads you may need new ones , where do you think the fluid went ,to fill your calipers on your breaks,

If your break pads are worn out then get new ones on your machine before you fill the master cylinder , then top it off after the new pads are in .
