REAR BRAKE

•
Remove the rubber protection cover of
the bleeding valve «4».
•
Insert a transparent plastic pipe in the
bleeding valve «4» of the rear brake
calliper and insert the other end of this
pipe into a container to collect the fluid.
•
Quickly press and release the rear
brake lever several times and then
keep it fully pressed.
