INSTALLATION
1. See Figure 2-51. Connect remote reservoir.
a. If removed, attach remote reservoir to frame using
screw. Tighten to 12-15 in-lbs (1.4-1.7 Nm).
b. If removed, attach reservoir hose to master cylinder
with clamp.
2. See Figure 2-52. Apply LOCTITE THREADLOCKER 243
(blue) to both screws. Attach master cylinder to frame
with spacers between master cylinder and footrest sup-
port. Tighten to 48-72 in-lbs (5-8 Nm).
Use only new black banjo washers (See Parts Catalog for
Part No.) with D.O.T. 4 brake fluid. Earlier silver banjo
washers are not compatible with D.O.T. 4 fluid and will
not seal properly over time. Failure to comply may
adversely affect braking ability and lead to brake failure
which could result in death or serious injury.
To avoid leakage after assembly, verify that banjo wash-
ers, banjo bolt, hydraulic brake line and bore of master
cylinder are completely clean.
