Carefully read 0.5.1 (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
INFORMATIONS) and 1.2.6 (CLUTCH FLUID).
Brake fluid bleeding, braking systems:
for the maintenance intervals, see 2.1.1 (REGULAR
SERVICE INTERVALS CHART).
a
CAUTION
Sudden resistance or clearance problems on the
clutch lever may be due to troubles in the hydraulic
system.
The air present in the hydraulic system acts as a bearing,
absorbing most of the pressure exerted by the brake
pump and reducing the effectiveness of the caliper action
during braking.
The presence of air is revealed by the “sponginess” of the
brake lever and with the reduced braking capacity.
a
WARNING
Considering the danger for both rider and vehicle, it
is absolutely essential to bleed the hydraulic circuit
once the brakes have been refitted and the braking
system restored to its normal conditions.
If the brake fluid gets in contact with the skin or the
eyes, it can cause serious irritations.
Carefully wash the parts of your body that get in con-
tact with the liquid. Consult a doctor or an oculist if
the liquid gets in contact with your eyes.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FLUID IN THE ENVIRON-
MENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
a
CAUTION
Handle brake fluid with care; it may chemically alter
painted surfaces and the parts in plastic, rubber, etc.
In case any maintenance operation has to be carried
out, it is advisable to use latex gloves.
When using the brake fluid, take care not to spill it on
the plastic or painted parts, since it can damage
them.
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean the
rubber and plastic parts and the saddle: use only wa-
ter and mild soap.
The air bleeding operations must be carried out on all
the bleeder valves present on the system to be bled.
FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM
The front braking system is provided with three bleeder
valves:
– one valve (1) on the pump;
– one valve (2) on each one of the two front brake cali-
pers.
Repeat the BLEEDING OPERATIONS on both valves
(2), see 2.20.1 (BLEEDING OPERATIONS).
REAR BRAKING SYSTEM
The rear braking system is equipped with a single bleeder
valve (3) positioned on the rear brake caliper.
