Bleeding the rear braking system

A long travel and mushy feel of the brake pedal indicate that there is air
in the system and the brake needs bleeding.
Bleeding procedure is as follows:
- Remove the cover (1) of the fluid reservoir (2), the rubber gaiter and fill the
reservoir with fresh fluid.
H11893
- Remove the rubber cap (3) on the bleed valve (4).
- Insert the end of a transparent hose in the valve (4) of the calliper; insert the
other end in a container.
H11894
- Press the pedal (5) fully down.
- With the brake pedal (5) down, loosen the bleed valve (4) so that the fluid
comes out of the hose (at the beginning only air will come out), then close
the valve (4).
- Release the pedal and wait a few seconds. Repeat the process until you see
only fluid without bubbles coming out of the hose.
- Tighten the bleed valve to the specified torque and check fluid level (2) in the
reservoir before refitting the cap (1). If the bleeding procedure was performed
correctly, the pedal will no longer have that mushy feel. If not so, repeat the
procedure.
H11887
Fluid level inside the reservoir shall never drop below the minimum
notch during the bleeding procedure.
Brake fluid is corrosive. In the event of contact with eyes, rinse with
abundant water.
If brake lever or brake pedal feel mushy after a fall or after a repair,
resulting in loss of braking, bleed the circuit as described above.
