BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM (SMS)

A long travel and mushy feel of the brake lever indicate that there is air in the
system and the brake needs bleeding. Bleeding is also required after changing
brake fluid.
To bleed the front brake, begin with the control on the handlebar and then bleed
the calliper: the procedure is the same.
Proceed as follows.
- Take the rubber cover off the bleed valve (1) or (1A).
- Attach a clear plastic hose to the calliper bleed valve and place the other
end of the hose in a vessel (make sure the hose end stays dipped in the fluid
throughout the procedure).
- Remove the reservoir cover (2) and the rubber gaiter and fill the reservoir
with fresh fluid.
- Slacken the bleed valve and operate the lever repeatedly until the fluid flowing
out of the hose looks clear and free of air bubbles: now tighten the bleed
valve.
- Top up fluid level (A) and refit rubber gaiter and reservoir cover (2).
