Replacing Brake Fluid - Benelli TNT 25 Maintenance Manual

Replacing Brake Fluid

●Park the motorcycle on the flat ground
Remark
○Support the motorcycle with center stand and ensure that the
motorcycle is vertical
●Check the brake fluid level
★If the level is lower than the lowest sign (the position of oil lens
[A]), add the recommended brake fluid to the correct level
●Remove the brake fluid cylinder cover [B] from the brake pump
○Check the brake fluid cylinder diaphragm on the cylinder.
★ If there is any damage/wear, please replace the brake fluid
cylinder diaphragm
Note
The brake fluid will quickly corrode the surfaces of painted
parts, therefore, if the brake fluid splashes on any plastic part,
it must be thoroughly rinsed immediately.
●Apply the brake handle and add the brake fluid until the brake fluid
level is higher than the oil lens of brake master cylinder
Warning
Only use the specified brake fluid. Other brake fluids can cause
the deterioration of rubber washer, leakage and improper
operation of brake system.
Use the same brake fluid which exists in the system when
adding the brake fluid. The mixture of different brake fluids
can cause harmful chemical reactions, which will reduce the
performance of brake system.
Be careful not to let water enter into the oil cup when adding
the brake fluid. Water will significantly reduce the boiling point
of brake fluid and generate steam bubbles after being heated,
which will reduce the performance of brake system.
