BRAKE FLUID REFILLING
Keep the handlebar upright and remove the
brake reservoir cover and diaphragm.
Add DOT-4 brake fluid to the brake reservoir.
BRAKE FLUID BLEEDING
Keep the handlebar upright and remove the
brake reservoir cover and diaphragm. Add
the specified brake fluid to the upper limit.
In order to avoid spilling brake fluid, connect a
transparent hose to the bleed valve.
Fully apply the brake lever and then loosen
the brake caliper bleed valve to drain the
brake fluid until there is no air bubbles in the
brake fluid. Then, tighten the bleed valve.
Repeat these steps until the brake system is
free of air.
Brake fluid spilled on brake pads or
brake disk will reduce the braking effect.
Clean the brake pads and brake disk
with a high quality brake degreaser.
Warning
