Brake Fluid Level Check; Front Brake Pump - PIAGGIO MSS X9 EVOLUTION 250 Workshop Manual

MSS X9 Evolution 250
IF AIR CONTINUES TO COME OUT DURING THE BLEED
OPERATION, EXAMINE ALL THE FITTINGS. IF SAID FIT-
TINGS DO NOT SHOW SIGNS OF BEING FAULTY, LOOK
FOR THE AIR INPUT AMONG THE VARIOUS SEALS ON
THE PUMP AND CALLIPER PISTONS. WHEN CARRYING
OUT THE OPERATION, BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK FROM
THE BLEED SCREW ON THE CALLIPER AND ON THE
DISC. IN THIS CASE; CAREFULLY CLEAN THE CALLIPER
AND DEGREASE THE BRAKE DISC.
CAUTION
The left brake pump is for the integral braking system and, be-
sides controlling the rear brake calliper, it also controls the front
left calliper. Therefore utmost care must be paid when bleeding
these two callipers.
