WARNING!
Use protective gloves when handling brake fluid since it is toxic.
Heed all container warnings. Dispose of used brake fluid at ap
-
propriate waste depots.
The brake fluid level is visible through a round sight glass window on the
master cylinders. With the bars level, the fluid should fill at least half of
the window. It may be hard to tell if it is full or empty; moving the bars
left and right will let you see bubbles or the top of the fluid if it is full. On
XPh, XPr, XPs and similar models it is necessary to remove the cowl to see
the sight glasses or open the reservoirs.
To be 100% certain and to top up the fluid, the top cover is removed by
undoing two screws. Bars must be level and secured to avoid spillage.
Have plenty of paper towels on hand and pre-positioned to catch drips
around the reservoir. Fill to no more than 7mm (1/4”) and no less than
13mm (1/2”) below the top edge of the reservoir. Press the rubber seal
back into the reservoir lid and assure proper alignment when re-install-
ing.
Flushing and bleeding the hydraulics is beyond the scope of this manual
but is done in the same way as traditional automotive systems.
Inspecting the Freewheel and Lubricating the Chain
The freewheel is located on the passenger side of the motor hub. It allows
the motor to run forward without moving the pedals, but also transmits
power from the pedals to the wheel as they are used.
Check it to make sure that the freewheel is securely attached (it self-
tightens on the hub when pedaled) and indeed allows the wheel to turn
without moving the pedals. Be careful not to drive dirt or water into
when cleaning. No lubrication is recommended.
Lubricate the chain the same as on any bicycle. A spray-on chain lube can
be used as long as care is taken to keep oil or grease off of the brake parts
and tires. Remove excess oil with a rag. Apply it monthly, or if you are rid-
ing on salty winter roads, more frequently.
