GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Check the system for any fluid leaks at banjo
union joints, damaged brake hose etc.
Ensure the handle bar is positioned straight
and the master cylinder in the handle bar is
parallel to the ground, whenever checking
fluid level.
Clean master cylinder filler cap before
removing.
Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 grade brake fluid
from a sealed container. Do not mix different
types of brake fluid as they may not be
compatible.
Whenever the disc brake system is
overhauled, ensure that the old fluid is
drained out completely and then fill with
fresh brake fluid.
In case the brake fluid is contaminated, drain
out completely, refill with fresh fluid and
bleed.
Use only fresh brake fluid to clean rubber
parts. Do not use any petroleum based
cleaning solvents, water or detergents etc.
Cover motorcycle painted surfaces, plastic
and rubber parts while bleeding a brake
system. Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with any parts of the motorcycle as
brake fluid has highly corrosive properties.
Always replace brake pads as a set only.
Always replace banjo union washers, 'O'
rings, diaphragm washers, dust seals and
piston seals whenever the hydraulic disc
brake system is overhauled.
Always replace damaged parts like pistons,
fixing pin etc. Do not attempt to repair as it
may render the disc brake to become
ineffective.
