Default Help a Noob Please

I've been lurking around this forum for some information but I am completely new to bikes so I don't really know what to search for to get an answer to this specific question. With that being said, sorry for if this question is super noob x.x and thank you in advance.

What are these two containers and what do they need to be filled with? They both seem a little low. The bigger one on the right says coolant so I'm going to assume it's coolant, but is there a specific type of coolant for it?

The small round one is filled with brake fluid and the larger oddly shaped one is in fact coolant. Just buy Honda coolant and Honda brake fluid if you have a nearby dealer and save yourself the headache of picking up the wrong thing at a parts store.

Brake fluid though is DOT 4, I believe, don't mix with any other types.

Good luck.

by the looks of things....you need to flush your rear brake line, and probably the front as well. Brake fluid is supposed to be clear like water.
