BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM
REAR BRAKE CALIPER
NOTE Position the scooter so that it is stable and
perfectly level.
•
Remove master cylinder reservoir cover (A) (left-hand
side), unscrewing the relative two screws, so that you
can replenish the brake fluid.
•
Fill the brake fluid reservoir to the max. level.
•
Remove rubber cap (B) from bleed screw (C) and fit
a rubber tube to recover escaping brake fluid.
•
Pull the left-hand brake lever to pressurise the brake
circuit.
•
Keeping the lever pulled, loosen the bleed screw to
allow any air in the circuit to escape. Now tighten ble-
ed screw (C).
•
Repeat this procedure until brake fluid only flows out
of the rubber tube.
•
Replenish the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
While bleeding the brakes ensure that no
brake fluid comes into contact with the sco-
oter bodywork (risk of damage). In addition,
while bleeding the brake calipers avoid con-
tamination of brake discs or pads with brake
fluid. Failure to comply with this prescrip-
tion will have a negative effect on the effi-
ciency of the brake system.
If the escaping brake fluid continues to con-
tain air bubbles during the bleed operation,
check all unions carefully: if the unions are
perfectly tight, check the gaskets on the
master cylinder and the caliper plungers for
the possible ingress of air.
When performing the bleed operation brake
fluid may leak from the bleed screw and con-
taminate the caliper or the disc: in this case,
dry the caliper thoroughly and degrease the
disc.
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER
•
To bleed the front caliper, follow the procedure outli-
ned above, but using the right brake lever.
