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 gaskets, banjo bolt, hydrau-
lic 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).

Always test motorcycle brakes at low speed after servic-
ing or bleeding system. To prevent death or serious
injury, Buell recommends that all brake repairs be per-
formed by a Buell dealer or other qualified mechanic.
4. Depress rear brake pedal several times to set brake
pads to proper operating position within caliper. Bleed
brake system. See 1.7 BRAKES.
5. See Figure 2-48. Verify proper fluid level in reservoir.

WARNING
Check for proper brake lamp operation before riding
motorcycle. Visibility is a major concern for motorcy-
clists. Failure to have proper brake lamp operation could
result in death or serious injury.
6. Turn ignition key switch to IGN. Apply brake pedal to test
brake lamp operation. Turn ignition key switch to LOCK.
NOTE
Avoid making hard stops for the first 100 miles (160 km) to
allow new brake pads to "wear in" properly with the brake
rotor.
