Brake Fluid
●
Place the handlebar straight.
●
Check the brake fluid level by observing the lower limit line on
the brake fluid reservoir.
●
When the brake fluid level is below the lower limit line, replenish
with brake fluid that meets the following specification.
Specification and Classification: DOT4
Air Bleeding the Brake Fluid Circuit
●
Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion absorb a
large proportion of the pressure developed by the master cylinder
and thus interferes with the full braking performance of the brake
caliper. The presence of air is indicated by “sponginess” of the
brake lever and also by lack of braking force.
●
Considering the danger to which such trapped air exposes the
machine and rider, it is essential that, after installing the brake and
restoring the brake system to the normal condition, the brake fluid
circuit be purged of air in the following manner.
○
Remove the reservoir cap and fill the reservoir with new brake
fluid.
○
Slowly pump the brake lever several times until no air bubbles
can be seen rising up through the fluid from the hose at the
bottom of the reservoir. This bleeds the air from the master
cylinder and the brake line.
WARNING
○
The brake system of this vehicle is filled with a glycol-based
brake fluid. Do not use or mix different types of fluid such as
silicone-based and petroleum-based fluids. Do not use any
brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers.
Never reuse brake fluid left over from the last servicing or
stored for a long period of time.
○
Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running and
immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check the brake hoses
and hose joints for cracks and oil leakage before riding.
Inspect every 1000 km (50 hours, 3 months)
Replace every two years.
NOTE
○
Tap the brake hose lightly going from the caliper to the
reservoir side and bleed the air off at the reservoir.
