I. CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.
D
Place the motorcycle on a suitable
stand.
D
Make sure that the motorcycle is upright.
2. Check:
D
brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark (a)
!
Add the recommended brake fluid to the
proper level.
Recommended brake fluid
DOT 4
A
Front brake
B
Rear brake
D
Use only designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the rub-
er seals to deteriorate, causing leak-
age and poor brake performance.
D
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid that is already in the system.
Mixing brake fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction, leading to
poor brake performance.
D
When refilling, be careful that water
does not enter the reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling
point of the brake fluid and could
cause vapor lock.
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces and plastic parts. Therefore, al-
ways clean up any split brake fluid im-
mediately.
In order to ensure a correct reading of the
brake fluid level, make sure that the top of
the reservoir is level.

J. BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM
Bleed the hydraulic brake system when-
ever:
D
the system was disassembled,
D
a brake hose was loosened or re-
moved,
D
the brake fluid level is very low,
D
brake operation is faulty.
D
Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or
allow the brake fluid reservoir to over-
flow.
D
When bleeding the hydraulic brake sys-
tem, make sure that there is always
enough brake fluid before applying the
brake. Ignoring this precaution could al-
low air to enter the hydraulic brake sys-
tem, considerably lengthening the
bleeding procedure.
D
If bleeding is difficult, it may be neces-
sary to let the brake fluid settle for a few
hours. Repeat the bleeding procedure
when the tiny bubbles in the hose have
disappeared.
1. Bleed:
D
hydraulic brake system
a. Add the recommended brake fluid to the
proper level.
b. Install the brake fluid reservoir dia-
phragm.
c. Connect a clear plastic hose (1) tightly to
the bleed screw (2).

d. Place the other end of the hose into a
container.
e. Slowly apply the brake several times.
f.
Fully squeeze the brake lever or fully de-
press the brake pedal and hold it in posi-
tion.
g. Loosen the bleed screw.
This will release the tension and cause
the brake lever to contact the throttle grip
or the brake pedal to fully extend.
h. Tighten the bleed screw and then re-
lease the brake lever or brake pedal.
i. Repeat steps (e) to (h) until all of the air
bubbles have disappeared from the
brake fluid in the plastic hose.
j. Tighten the bleed screw to specification.

After bleeding the hydraulic brake sys-
tem, check the brake operation.
