WARNING
Use only new black banjo washers (See Parts Catalog for
Part No.) with D.O.T. 4 brake fluid. Earlier silver banjo
washers are not compatible with D.O.T. 4 fluid and will
not seal properly over time. Failure to comply may
adversely affect braking ability and lead to brake failure
which could result in death or serious injury
CAUTION
To avoid leakage, verify that banjo washers, banjo bolt,
hydraulic brake line and caliper bore are completely
clean.
3. Connect brake line (1) to caliper using two new banjo
washers (3) and banjo bolt (2) (metric). Tighten to 16-20
ft-lbs (22-27 Nm).
4. Depress rear brake pedal several times to set brake pads
to proper operating position within caliper. Bleed brake
system.
5. Verify proper fluid level in reservoir.

ing or bleeding system. To prevent death or serious
injury, Buell strongly recommends that all brake repairs
be performed by a Buell dealer or other qualified techni-
cian.

allow new brake pads to "wear in" properly with the brake
rotor.
