FRAME/BRAKE FLUID CHECK
CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE REAR BRAKE FLUID / TOP UP
Park:
• the bike on a level surface.
NOTE:
Place the motorbike on a stand and make sure that it is in the
upright position.
Check:
• Brake fl uid levels
If it is below the minimum level mark "A" Fig. A, top up to the
correct level with the recommended engine oil.
Fluid top up procedure:
• Once the motorbike is level, unscrew the top cap "B" from
the brake pump Fig. B
Check:
the seal on the cap "C "
If there is any damage/wear
Replace the gasket
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Brake fl uid can damage painted surfaces or plastic parts. There-
fore, apply absorbent paper around the pump and always clean
up any break fl uid spills immediately.
• Remove the screw fastening the rear brake outer calliper
and loosen the internal fastening screw Fig. C so as to lift
the brake calliper. This will completely bleed the circuit,
removing all air bubbles.
• Apply the vacuum device "D" to the bleeding screw and
loosen the screw.
• Top up the fl uid as far as the level in the peephole on the
pump.
• Pump the brake fl uid until the brake lever moves.
• Once the top up process is complete, lower the calliper and
tighten the two fastening screws to the following torque:
T.R.
Torque 22 N*m
• Close the pump cover.
WARNING:
Only use the prescribed brake fl uid. Other brake fl uids may be
the cause of deterioration to rubber gaskets, causing leaks and
an unsuitable operation of the braking system.
Top up with the same brake fl uid already in the system. The mix
of different brake fl uids may lead to a harmful chemical reaction,
able to cause incorrect operation of the braking system.
While topping up, take care not to let any water into the tray.
Water would signifi cantly lower the boiling point of the brake
fl uid and could cause vapour bubbles.
