Use and maintenance
Changing the brake fluid
Warning
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces if spilled on them. In addition, it is very harmful in contact with the skin or with the eyes;
in the event of accidental contact wash the affected area with abundant running water.
Changing the fluid in the front brake circuit
Unscrew the screws (2) and remove the cap (1) and membrane from the front brake fluid reservoir.
Aspirate the brake fluid from inside the reservoir (A).
Fill the reservoir (A) with new clutch fluid up to the MAX mark.
Operate the clutch lever two or three times until the circuit is pressurized.
Hold the lever pulled in towards the handgrip.
Attach a length of transparent plastic tubing to the bleed valve (3) and insert the other end of the tubing in a container placed on
the floor.
Loosen the bleed valve (3) to allow fluid to escape.
Warning
During the filling operation, always keep the fluid level above the MIN mark to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the circuit.
Allow the fluid to flow from the bleed valve (3) until it changes colour.
Tighten the bleed valve (3) and restore the correct fluid level in the reservoir.
