Brake System Bleeding
If the reserve is low and/or air has entered the system
creating a soft, spongy braking action, the following
should be done:
Remove reservoir cover and "top up" fluid level. Install
cover.
Use only hydraulic brake fluid meeting specifications
J-1703.
. . . CAUTION: The entry of dirt or foreign particles in-
... to the brake fluid may require system flushing.
O
NOTE:
Retain this reservoir level throughout the
following procedure.
Connect a bleeder drain to the valve and insert end of
bleeder hose into a container of brake fluid.
Repeatedly depress the brake lever in quick succession
(pumping), to obtain pressure. Once obtained, hold
lever, open bleeder valve then quickly depress brake
lever. Close bleeder valve and allow brake lever to return
slowly.
Continue pressing and releasing brake lever until the
fluid injected into the container is air free.
Disconnect bleeder hose, recheck brake fluid.

NOTE:
Brake fluid should be changed at least
once every racing season.
