brake bleed procedure
6
For models with Contact point Adjustment and a rotating bleed
port screw located on the contact point adjuster:
rotate the
adjuster in the direction opposite the arrow until it stops, then
rotate the adjuster back just enough to place the bleed screw at its
highest point.
For models with Contact point Adjustment and a fixed bleed port
screw:
rotate the adjuster in the direction opposite the arrow on
the adjuster knob until it stops.
7
For models equipped with Reach Adjust:
make sure the tip of
the lever blade is 75-80 mm from the centerline of the
handlebar. If the lever is too far out, it can make bleeding the
brake impossible.
8
Use the T10 TORX® to remove the lever bleed port screw.
9
Make sure the fluid in the 1/4 full syringe is pushed all the way to
the tip so that there is no air gap, then thread into the lever bleed
port.
It is not necessary to reposition the angle of the brake lever on the
handlebar. You may have a small amount of DOT fluid drip from the
bleed port screw, this is normal. Just have a clean rag handy to wipe
off any excess after the syringe is installed
