Front Brake; Brake Fluid; Brake Pads; Air Bleeding - HUSABERG E 400 e User Manual

10 C

FRONT BRAKE:

The Husaberg motorcycle is equipped with a
Brembo hydraulic disc brake. For your own safety
it needs to be frequently serviced and checked.
Always check the level of brake fluid in the
reservoir. The reservoir has a transparent
"window" with a mark for the lowest level (Fig.
10J-1).
Always check the brake hose for any leakage and/
or deterioration.
Always check the wear of the brake pads. Change
the pads if the thickness of each brake pad,
excluding the metal part, is less than 1,5 mm.

Brake fluid:

Add fluid; DOT 4, by removing the two screws
(Fig. 10J-2, Philips screwdriver) and removing the
cover and the membrane. Take care - the fluid is
toxic and could also harm the surfaces of the
motorcycle.

Brake pads:

Remove the two clips (Fig. 10K-1) holding the
brake pad pin (Fig. 10K-2).
Remove the two brake pads by removing the pin
and pulling the two pads out (Fig. 10L-1).
Fit new pads in reverse order.

Air bleeding:

Ensure that the air nipple (Fig. 10M-1, wrench
No.11) is easily opened.
With the nipple in closed position; pull the lever
towards the handlebar a couple of times and keep
it under pressure towards the handlebar the last
time.
Open the air nipple slightly and the brake lever,
still under pressure, will move towards the
handlebar allowing any occuring air, and fluid, to
run through the brakeline and nipple.
With the brake lever fully towards the handlebar
close the air nipple and then release the lever.
Repeat the above mentioned steps until no more
air is visible from the air nipple. Make sure that
the reservoir has enough fluid all the time (not
below the MIN level).

Adjustment of brake lever:
The front brake lever has an adjustment knob (Fig.
10J-3) that allows a personal adjustment of the
pressure point. Always keep a clearance in
between the lever and the point of pressure.
Tightening torque brake caliper/bracket (M8):
25 Nm / Use a threadlock liquid on the bolts.
