You have pretty much answered your own question here. The fluid is there to maintain a flooded area right above the master cylinder which is a small actuating piston that applies pressure to your brake pistons when your fingers apply force. If this wasn't here your master cylinder would suck in air and your brakes would be rendered useless as al you would be doing is compressing the air in your brake lines. Very dangerous. Also, when your bike consumes brake pads the material that disappears is taken up by the fluid from your resoviour to compensate. As time goes by you will notice a drop in your resoviours fluid and this would be the cause. Force = Pressure X Area You could work that sum anyway you like as it is being applied everytime you squeeze the front and rear of your brakes. Hope this helps.

Ours is a really old Yale and it is located just behind the brake pedal underneath the floor. I believe there is a removable panel to access it.

most likely down lower than you want it to be. look at the brake pedal and follow the linkage. you will find the master cylinder this way.
