Connect a commercial brake bleeder to the front brake calliper bleed valve (5) or rear brake calliper bleed valve (8).
Note
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using a commercial brake bleeding tool.
Open the bleed valve and pump with the bleeding tool until no more fluid emerges.
If you do not have a brake bleeding tool available, attach a length of transparent plastic tubing to the front calliper bleed
valve (5) or rear calliper bleed valve (8) and immerse the other end of the tubing in a container on the floor containing
old brake fluid.
Loosen the bleed valve.
Operate the brake lever (or pedal) until all the fluid has drained out.
Repeat this operation for each brake calliper.
Note (front system)
With this procedure in the front system the front callipers fluid-filled remain; in case the callipers also need to be emptied,
it is necessary to carry out a retreat piston operation described in the chapter “
Changing the fluid in the front brake
circuit” keeping the bleeder (if available) still running and connected to the bleed valve.
Note (rear system)
If there is no bleeder, carry out piston retreat operation described in the chapter “Changing the fluid in the front brake
circuit”.
