AIR BLEEDING OF BRAKE SYSTEM
<WITHOUT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM>
1. Start the engine and let it idle until you have
completed the brake fluid replacement.
2. Attach vinyl pipes to air bleeders of the front
wheel cylinder front disc brake, rear wheel cylin-
der, and put one end of the pipes in container to
bleed air.
3. Depress the brake pedal slowly several times,
and with the brake pedal depressed, loosen air
bleeder to discharge air together with the brake
fluid. After closing the air bleeder, release the
brake pedal.
CAUTION
Make sure you maintain the brake fluid at the
“MAX” level of the brake fluid tank because the
brake fluid decreases during air bleeding.
4. Repeat the above operation until air bubbles are
no longer present in the brake fluid discharged
from air bleeder.
5. When the discharged fluid is free of air bubbles,
tighten air bleeder at the specified torque.
6. Make sure that the brake fluid level is at the
“MAX” level of the brake fluid tank, and depress
the brake pedal several times to ensure that the
brake fluid does not leak from anywhere. Then
conduct a brake test.
