11.4 REAR OIL LEVEL
Check for oil through the oil reservoir AG. The oil level should
never be allowed to drop below the minimum level mark on the
reservoir AG. Top up oil as required through the filler cap AH.
If the brake lever feels spongy when pulled, the issue may
be an air bubble in the braking system. You need to contact
an authorized garage as soon as possible.
NOTE: For replacement intervals, refer to the Scheduled
maintenance chart and use recommended lubricants (see
owner's manual)
11.5 BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKE
To bleed the front brake system, proceed as follows:
• Remove the rubber cap AI from the valve AL.
• Open the oil reservoir's cap.
• Insert one end of a hose in the valve AL,
and the other inside a container.
• Unscrew the valve AL (with the lever pulled) and pump the
brake lever until you get a steady stream of oil coming out
without any air bubbles: during this operation, it is important
you do not release the lever completely, and keep topping up
the brake pump reservoir to make up for the oil coming out.
• Tighten the valve back up and remove the hose.
• Refit the cap.
