LEVER BRAKE LINE
Close the bleed valves.
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Connect an automatic refill system to the reservoir.
• If an automatic refill system is not used, add brake
fluid when the fluid level in the reservoir is low.
• Check the fluid level often while bleeding the brakes
to prevent air from being pumped into the system.
• When using a brake bleeding tool, follow the
manufacturer's operating instructions.
• If air is entering the bleeder from around the bleed
valve threads, seal the threads with teflon tape.
Connect a commercially available brake bleeder [1] to
the front brake caliper upper bleed valve.
Operate the brake bleeder and loosen the bleed valve.
Perform the bleeding procedure until the system is
completely flushed/bled.
Close the bleed valve and operate the brake lever. If it
is still spongy, bleed the system again.
After bleeding the air completely, tighten the brake
caliper bleed valve to the specified torque.
TORQUE: 5.4 N·m (0.6 kgf·m, 4.0 lbf·ft)
If a brake bleeder is not available, use the following
procedure:
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Connect a bleed hose [1] to the front brake caliper
upper bleed valve [2].
Pressurize the system with the brake lever until lever
resistance is felt.
1. Squeeze the brake lever all the way and loosen the
bleed valve 1/4 turn and then close the bleed valve.
• Do not release the lever until the bleed valve has
been closed.
2. Release the brake lever slowly and wait several
seconds after it reaches the end of its travel.
3. Repeat steps 1. and 2. until air bubbles do not
appear in the bleed hose.
After bleeding the air completely, tighten the brake
caliper bleed valve to the specified torque.
TORQUE: 5.4 N·m (0.6 kgf·m, 4.0 lbf·ft)
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container to the casting ledge [1].
Install the diaphragm and set plate.
Install the reservoir cover and tighten the screws to the
specified torque.
TORQUE: 1.5 N·m (0.2 kgf·m, 1.1 lbf·ft)
