• Brake hose (hydraulic unit to right front brake
caliper)
• Brake hose (right front brake caliper to left
front brake caliper)

clearance between the brake pipe and brake
caliper as shown in the illustration.
• Align the pins “b” of the brake hose (hydraulic
unit to right front brake) and brake hose (right
front brake caliper to left brake caliper).

PADS” on page 4-30.
4. Fill:
• Brake master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the specified
brake fluid)
WARNING
EWA13090
• 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.
