- Stop when there are no more bubbles coming from the caliper bleed screw
- Close the bleed screw
- Disconnect the pipe connecting it to the recipient
- Check the lever is firm without operating the lever violently to prevent brake fluid splashes
Note: On the left lever, if the lever does not feel sufficiently firm, carry out operation 2
On the right lever, carry out operation 2 and operate the pump using the diagnostic tool to assess
lever firmness
Operation 2
The following operation must be carried out scrupulously, and consists in removing the air bubbles
from the circuit through the relevant master cylinder, in order to guarantee correct operation of the
brake circuits
- Position the handlebar in order to create a high
point on the master cylinder to enable the bubbles
in the circuit to rise more easily
Essential precautions: 1) pumping with the brake lever must be carried out slowly.
- Protect any plastics which may be exposed to brake fluid splashes
Operate the brake lever slowly with a maximum movement of 2 cm from its rest position until no more
bubbles can be seen coming up through the master cylinder reservoir.
- Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder and top up if necessary.
- Refit the master cylinder cover
Important: The brake fluid level in the master cylinders in the horizontal position must always be above the
sight gauge level
- Re-fit the bleed screw cap
This operation can only be successful if it is not hurried
- Using the diagnostic tool operate the pump to assess lever firmness
Note: If the lever does not feel sufficiently firm, repeat the operation as from operation 1
