If you do not have a bleeding tool available, connect a length of transparent plastic tubing to the bleed valve (4) as
outlined in the draining procedure.
Open the bleed valve (4) by 1/4 of a turn and operate the clutch lever several times until the fluid starts to come out the
bleed valve (4).
Pull the lever fully in and then loosen the bleed valve by at least 1/4 turn.
Wait for a few seconds; then release the lever gradually while simultaneously closing the bleed valve (3).
Important
Do not release the clutch lever until the bleed valve has been fully tightened.
Repeat the bleeding operation until the fluid emerging from the plastic tube is free of air bubbles.
Tighten the bleed valve (4) to a torque of 4 Nm
±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) and install the protection cap.
Fill up to 3 mm above the MIN level mark on the reservoir.
Replace the membrane and the cover (1) on the reservoir (2) and tighten the screws (3).
Adjusting the steering head bearings
Excessive handlebar play or the forks shaking in the steering head indicate that the play in the steering head bearings
requires adjustment. Proceed as follows.
Unscrew the four screws (1), remove the clamp (2) and remove the handlebar (3) from the steering head, positioning it
out of the way so it does not hinder subsequent operations.
Slacken the clamp screws (4) securing the steering head to both fork legs.
