Before installation, all internal brake

Never use solvents on internal brake
components.

1. Install:
copper washers (New) 1
brake hose 2
union bolt 3
Proper brake hose routing is essential to
insure safe motorcycle operation. Refer
to “CABLE ROUTING”.
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake master cylinder, make sure that the
brake pipe touches the projection
a
on
the brake master cylinder.
While holding the brake hose, tighten the
union bolt as shown.
Turn the handlebar to the left and to the
right to make sure that the brake hose
does not touch other parts (e.g, wire har-
ness, cables, leads). Correct if necessary.
2. Fill:
brake master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended brake fluid)
Recommended brake fluid
DOT 4
Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the
rubber seals to deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid
that is already in the system. Mixing
brake fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction, leading to poor
brake performance.
When refilling, be careful that water
does not enter the reservoir. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.
