Brake Fluid Replacement
To replace brake fluid, drain the brake circuit com-
pletely then refill and bleed.
Brake Fluid Draining
Remove reservoir cover with diaphragm.
Connect a clear hose to the bleeder.
Place the other end of hose into a container.
Loosen bleeder and pump brake lever or brake
pedal until no more fluid flows out through clear
hose.
Brake Fluid Bleeding
Close bleeder.
Fill master cylinder reservoir to the appropriate lev-
el, using recommended brake fluid only.
NOTE:
Master cylinder reservoir must be kept full
to prevent air from being pumped into the system.
If a lack of fluid occurs, start the procedure again.
Bleed system as per the following procedure:
Manual Bleeding Procedure:
Install a clear hose to bleeder.
Place the other end of the hose in a small con-
tainer partially filled with clean brake fluid.
Carefully pump the brake lever or the brake pedal
few times and hold it while opening the bleeder.
NOTE:
When bleeder is opened, brake fluid flows
out of caliper and the brake lever moves toward
the handlebar or the brake pedal moves down.
Retighten the bleeder, then release brake lever
or brake pedal gradually.
Repeat the procedures until no air bubbles appear
in hose and lever or pedal is stiff.
NOTE:
For the front brake system, switch to LH
and RH caliper. Turn handlebar to full RH side
when bleeding right caliper and turn to the LH side
for the left caliper. This helps the bleeder to reach
air into the caliper.
Top up the master cylinder reservoir to the appro-
priate level, using recommended brake fluid only.
Install diaphragm and cover on reservoir.
NOTE:
Make sure rear reservoir diaphragm is cor-
rectly installed, see the following illustrations to
position it.
