During the bleeding procedure, keep the brake handle as level as possible. The
reservoir must be in this position to minimize the possibility of air entering the
system through the reservoir vent.
1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir cover and gasket.
2. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to 1/4-5/16 inch (.6-.8 cm) below the lip of
the reservoir opening. Reinstall the gasket and cover.
3. Slip a rubber tube over the ball of the bleeder valve and direct the flow of fluid
into an approved container.
4. Squeeze the brake lever a full stroke. Then unscrew the bleeder valve 3/4 of
a turn to release air.
5. Close the bleeder valve and release the brake lever.
6. Repeat steps 4–5 until fluid flows from the bleeder valve in a solid stream
free of air bubbles.
WARNING
Overfilling the master cylinder leaves no room for fluid expansion and may
cause the brakes to lock, resulting in serious injury or death. Always add brake
fluid to the fill line as recommended.
7. After bleeding is complete, refill the reservoir to the proper level. See page
86.
8. Reinstall the gasket and cover.
LIGHTS
When servicing a halogen lamp, avoid touching the lamp with bare fingers. Oil
from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the
lamp. If fingers do touch a lamp, clean it with denatured alcohol.
HEADLIGHT LAMP REPLACEMENT
1. Peel back the foam shield covering the headlight assembly.
2. Remove the wire harness connector from the back of the headlight.
3. Grasp the bulb housing and turn it counter-clockwise to remove the bulb.
4. Apply dielectric grease to the socket and install the new bulb. Rotate the bulb
1/4 turn clockwise to secure it.
5. Reinstall the connector to the back of the headlight.
