CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE

BRAKES

CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE FRONT

BRAKE FLUID

Check the level of the brake fl uid through

sight

. The level of the fl uid should never

fall below the mark in the sight.

RESTORING THE LEVEL OF THE

FRONT BRAKE FLUID

To restore the level of the brake fl uid, loosen

the two screws

, lift cap

and add brake

fl uid until its level is 5 mm below the upper

rim of the reservoir.

WARNING

We recommend using DOT 4 brake fl uid.

Should this fl uid be unavailable, use DOT

5.1 fl uid instead. Do not on any account

use DOT 5 brake fl uid. This is a purple fl uid

with a base of silicone oil which requires

special seals and tubes.

WARNING

The brake fl uid is extremely corrosive. Take

care not to spill it on the paintwork.

BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKE

To bleed air from the front brake circuit,

proceed as follows:

•

Remove the rubber cap

from the valve

•

Open the sump cap.

•

Insert one end of a transparent tube into

a container.

•

Pump with the brake lever 2/3 times and

keep the lever pressed.

•

Unscrew the valve and let the oil drain.

•

If are still visible in the tube repeat above

operation until obtaining a continuous

outfl ow of oil within no air bubbles.

•

Close the valve and release the lever.

NOTE:

during this procedure, continuously top up

the brake pump thank to replace the oil that

is out fl owing.

•

Remove the tube.

•

Replace the rubber cap.
