2-8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
BRAKE PADS (FRONT BRAKE)
Observing the limit can check the Wear condition of brake pads
Line marked on the pad. When the wear exceeds the limit mark, replace
the pads with new ones.
CAUTION:
Replace the brake pad as a set, otherwise braking efficiency will be
Adversely affected.
AIR BLEEDING FORM THE BRAKE FLUID CIRCUIT (FRONT BRAKE)
Air trapped in the fluid circuit acts like a cushion to absorb a large
proportion of the pressure developed by the master cylinder and thus
interferes with the full braking performance of the brake caliper. The
presence of air is indicated by sponginess of the brake lever and
also by lack of braking force. Considering the danger to which such
trapped air exposes the machine and rider, it is essential that, after
remounting the brake and restoring the brake system to the normal
condition, the brake fluid circuit be purged of air in the following manner:
Fill up the master cylinder reservoir to the upper end of the inspection
Window. Replace the reservoir cap to prevent entry of dirt.
Attach a pipe to the caliper bleeder valve, and insert the free end of the pipe into a receptacle.
Bleed air from the bleeder valve.
Squeeze and release the brake lever several times in rapid succession. And squeeze the lever fully
without releasing it. Loosen the bleeder valve by turning it a quarter of a turn so that the brake fluid
runs into the receptacles: this will remove the tension of the brake lever causing it to touch the
handlebar grip. Then, close the valve, pump and squeeze the lever, and open the valve. Repeat this
process until the fluid flowing into the receptacle no longer contains air bubbles.
NOTE
When bleeding the braking system, replenish the brake fluid reservoir if necessary. Make sure that there
is always some fluid visible in the reservoir.
Close the bleeder valve, disconnect the pipe. Fill the reservoir with specified brake fluid to the
UPPER end of the inspection window.
TIGHTENING TORQUE BLEEDER VALVE: 6-9N.m (0.6-0.9kg-m, 4.5-6.5lb-ft)
CAUTION
Handle brake fluid with care: The brake fluid reacts chemically with paint, plastics, and rubber
materials, etc.
