I am not familiar with a Karzuma, but with most any mastercylinder you open the top either with a twist off cover or now more commonly undo two screws and lift the top off. If its just low pour some fluid in and recover. If you want to change it, suck out as much as you can with a syringe or similar device. Then fill the resivoir with fluid and release the bleeder screw down at the calipher (do the brake bleeding sequence) until you have to fill the resivoir again. That should flush out all the old stuff, if you are not sure just repeat the procedure, brake fluid is cheap.How do you change the brake fluid on a kazuma 150 dingo ?
most motorcycles newer than 1996 have a check valve in the master cyl that holds a minor amount of pressure, this is done so the pressure increase to the brake caliper is quicker, and its a must on brake systems with ABS.

The problem with these check valves is you can't bleed the brakes the old fashioned way of forcing the brake fluid from the master cyl to the caliper, out the bleeder screw, instead you have to back bleed them, meaning you have to install a back bleeder and force the brake fluid from the caliper to the master cyl.

I use a cheap metal squirt oil can is a solid stem and a trigger pump, install a short piece of vacuum hose on the end, then install the hose on the open bleeder screw and pump with the can filled with brake fluid.



note: most motorcycle mechanics don't know about his, now you know more than they do.
