FRAME/CHECKING BRAKE FUID LEVEL
CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE LIQUID LEVEL/TOPPING UP
Park:
• The motorcycle on a level surface.
NOTE:__________________________________________
Place the motorcycle on a stand and make sure it is in up-
right position.
Check:
• the brake fl uid level
If below the minimum notch “A” Fig. A, top up with the recom-
mended brake fl uid until it is at the correct level.
Fluid topping up procedure:
• Once having positioned the motorcycle on a level surface,
loosen the top cover “A” of the brake pump Fig. A.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Brake fl uid can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts.
Therefore, wrap the absorbent paper around the pump and
always clean up any brake fl uid spills immediately.
• Remove the fastening screw of the outer rear brake caliper
and loosen the inner fastening screw “D” Fig. B in order to
raise the caliper and carry out a complete exhaust, without
air bubbles.
• Apply the vacuum device to the drain screw ”E” and loosen
the latter.
• T
op the liquid up to the MAX level indicated on the graduat-
ed container “F”. Pump the brake fl uid by moving the brake
lever.
• After topping up, lower the caliper and tighten the two fas-
tening screws to the following torque:
T
.
R
.
Torque 22 N*m
• Close the pump cover.
WARNING
Only use the prescribed fl uid. Other brake fl uids may cause
the deterioration of the rubber seals, causing leakages and
malfunctioning of the braking system.
Top up with the same type of brake fl uid already in the sys-
tem. Mixing different types of brake fl uid may cause a nox-
ious chemical reaction, which may affect the braking system
operation.
While topping up brake fl uid, take care not to let any water
enter the container. Water would lower the boiling point of
the brake fl uid signifi cantly, causing steam bubbles.
