9. While squeezing the syringe, pull the brake lever fast and release
the lever slowly.
New brake fluid will come into the hydraulic circuit eliminating most
of the air that maybe in there.
Continue until the fluid flow from the calipers’ bleeder through the
long transparent tube is not any longer interrupted by air bubbles.
If necessary, re-fill the syringe during this process.
When doing this, close the bleeder (on the caliper) and don’t open
it before the re-filled syringe is connected to the fluid reservoir and
the syringe is squeezed again.
10. With the syringe still squeezed, retighten the bleeder.
Now, squeezing the syringe can be stopped.
Remove the long transparent tube and put the rubber cap back on
the bleeder.
Tightening torque bleeder: 8 Nm.
Step 6 - 10 will take approx. 5 minutes, but in most cases it's not necessary, because there is still brake
fluid in the hoses, levers and/or calipers.
So, in those cases, you can skip these steps and continue from this point.
And now the fine-tuning can start: the MPH system has to be made 100% air-free.
This will take approx. 10 - 15 minutes.
11. Keep the calipers’ bleeder, etc. closed.
No need to touch the caliper.
Make sure that the adjustment knob of the brake fluid reservoir
(brake lever) is turned anti-clockwise completely.
The syringe should be filled for at least 25%, and connected to
the brake fluid reservoir on the brake lever.
The filling hole of the brake fluid reservoir should remain the
highest point and the brake caliper the lowest point of the MPH
system until the end of this procedure.
So, air can go up in the MPH system and escape via the short
transparent tube into the syringe. Brake fluid will go down into the
MPH system.
The syringe should be kept in upright position.
