SYSTEM
＊
Bleed the brake fluid circuit:
● The system has been disassembled.
● A brake hose or brake pipe have been
loosened or removed.
● The brake fluid has been very low.
● The brake operation has been faulty.
A loss of braking performance may occur
if the brake system is not properly bled.
Air bleeding steps (Front brake):
1. Add the proper brake fluid to the reservoir.
2. Install the diaphragm. Be careful not to spill
any fluid or allow the reservoir to overflow.
3. Connect the clear plastic hose tightly to the
left front caliper air bleed screw.
4. Place the other end of the hose into a
container.
5. Slowly apply the brake lever several times.
6. Pull the lever in and hold it.
7. Loosen the bleed screw and allow the
lever to travel towards its limit.
