Bleeding the braking system
PREPARATION OF THE VEHICLE
•
Place the vehicle on a flat surface and
in vertical position.
•
Protect the areas around the front and/
or rear brake fluid tanks, avoiding un-
der any circumstances that the fluid
comes into contact with the bodywork
and/or painted parts of the vehicle.
•
The use of a pneumatic bleeding de-
vice facilitates these operations, espe-
cially when, in addition to just bleeding,
the brake fluid also needs to be
changed.

TRADITIONAL BLEEDING SYSTEM
WARNING
BLEED BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALLIPERS
Any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit acts as a cushion, absorbing much of the pressure applied by
the brake pump and minimising the braking power of the calliper.
The presence of air is signalled by the "sponginess" of the brake and by poor braking.
CONSIDERING THE DANGER FOR VEHICLE AND RIDER, IT IS STRICTLY NECESSARY, AFTER
REFITTING THE BRAKE CALLIPERS AND RESTORING THE BREAKING SYSTEM TO ITS REG-
ULAR USE CONDITIONS, SO THAT THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT IS AIR PURGED.
