BRAKE FLUID REFILLING
Keep the handlebar upright and remove the
brake reservoir cover and diaphragm.
Add DOT-4 brake fluid to the brake reservoir.
•
When bleeding, be careful not to allow
air in the brake reservoir flowing into
the brake system.
• When using a brake bleeder, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
• Never use dirty or unspecified brake
fluid or mix different brake fluids be-
cause it will damage the brake system.
BRAKE FLUID BLEEDING
Keep the handlebar upright and remove the
brake reservoir cover and diaphragm. Add
the specified brake fluid to the upper limit.
• Do not allow dust or water to enter the
brake system during refilling.
• When servicing the brake system, use
towels to cover plastic parts and
coated surfaces to avoid damage
caused by splash of brake fluid.
In order to avoid spilling brake fluid, connect a
transparent hose to the bleed valve.
Warning
Brake fluid spilled on brake pads or
brake disk will reduce the braking effect.
Clean the brake pads and brake disk
with a high quality brake degreaser.
Fully apply the brake lever and then loosen
the brake caliper bleed valve to drain the
brake fluid until there is no air bubbles in the
brake fluid. Then, tighten the bleed valve.
Repeat these steps until the brake system is
free of air.
