Bleeding the power braking circuit

Note: Bleeding the power braking circuit is only of use in case of difficulty in obtaining sufficient firmness on
the left lever
Before working on the power braking system you must ensure that the battery is fully charged, as excessive
voltage drop will immediately cut off the power assistance pump
- Remove the right master cylinder cover
- Position the handlebar in order to set the master
cylinder horizontal
- Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
and top up if necessary.
- Remove the front caliper bleed screw cap
- Connect a transparent pipe containing brake fluid
from the front caliper bleed screw to the right
master cylinder reservoir
- Using the diagnostic tool, operate the control unit pump and exert a small pressure on the right lever
- Open the caliper bleed screw half a turn
- Maintain the pressure on the lever so that the pump continues to operate until the fluid circulates between
the front caliper and the right master cylinder reservoir
Note: As a preventive measure, the pump should not be operated for more than 2 minutes continuously.
