INSTALLING THE FRONT BRAKE MASTER
CYLINDER
1. Install:
• Front brake master cylinder “1”
• Front brake master cylinder holder “2”
NOTE:
• Install the brake master cylinder holder with the
“UP” mark “a” facing up.
• Align the mating surfaces of the brake master
cylinder holder with the punch mark “b” on the
handlebar.
• First, tighten the upper bolt, then the lower bolt.
2. Install:
• Front brake hose “1”
• Copper washers “2”
• Front brake hose union bolt “3”
WARNING
EWA13530
Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation. Refer to “CABLE
ROUTING” on page 2-47.
NOTE:
• Install the brake hose at a 15.8° angle to the
front brake master cylinder as shown in the il-
lustration.
• While holding the brake hose, tighten the union
bolt.
• Turn the handlebar to the left and right to make
sure the brake hose does not touch other parts
(e.g., wire harness, cables, leads). Correct if
necessary.
3. Fill:
• Brake fluid reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended 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.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
CAUTION:
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
4. Bleed:
• Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” on page 3-24.
5. Check:
• Brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark “a”
→
Add the
recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL” on page 3-22.
