partially filled with fluid
of the same type.
2 Loosen drain plug ~E».
3 Completely operate control lever «B» on the han-
dlebar several times: release it slowly and wait a few
seconds before pulli ng it again. Repeat the operation
until the pipe plunged into the transparent container
«G» emits airless flui d.

Keep control lever .. B .. fully pulled and lock drain
plug .. E» . Then remove plastic pi pe «G» and remount
the rubber cap on drain plug.
If
the bleeding opera-
tion has been correctly done, a direct and efficient
working of the fluid will be immediately perceived
after the Initial idle movement of lever "B», If nol,
repeat the ai r bleeding operation.
Front teft and rear braking circuit (fig, 166)
Ca rry out the same operations as indicated in «Check-
ing Ihe brake fluid level and changing the brake
fluid in the reservoir .. except pOint 1 and in .. Bra-
king ci rcuit for the righ t front brake,. except pOints
,,3 .. and ,,4 .. which are replaced as follows:
1 Fuid level in the
re~~rvoir
is indicated by warning
light
~10"
in fig.4 located on the instrument panel.
Fill up when this light comes on.
3 Completely operate pedal "B" etc.
4 Keep pedal ~B .. fully pressed down etc.
Checking the brake fluid level and changing the
brake fluid In reservoir (fig. 165-166) - Model .. V 1000
G5»
For efficient brake operation, the following direc-
tions should be followed strictly:
1 Periodical ly check the fluid level in reservoir .. A".
It
should never be below the transparent part of the
reservoir partition.
2 Periodically, or whenever necessary, top up lIuid
reservoir
"A.,.
after loosening plug ..
0 ,.
and taking
olf the gaiter (fig. 165).
When the fluid fall s under level in the reservoir for
the front left and rear brakes , this is warned by an
optical indicator on the panel .. 10 .. In fig. 10 connec·
ted to solenoid "Cn llig. 166)
To top up this reservoir it is necessary to undo plug
,,0» of master cylinder .. A .. (fig. 166), after discon-
necting the electrical connections.
To top up use only fre sh fluid taken from sea led
containers to be opened Just before use,
3 Completely renew the brake fluid every 15.000 km
(9500
miles) or at least once a year. The flexible
pipes should always be full and without air.
A
long
and elastic movement of control levers "B .. eviden-
ces the presence of air inside the pipes.
When cleaning the braking circuits use on ly fresh
fluid .
Never use alcohol to clean or compressed air to dry.
Metal parts are best cleaned with Trichloroethylene.
Fluid to be used : AGIP F.1 . Brake fluid - SAE J
1703B.
