BRAKE SYSTEM
Do not release the
brake lever until the
bleed valve has
been closed.
If the brake bleeder is not available, perform the fol-
lowing procedure:
Pump up the system pressure with the front brake
lever until the lever resistance is felt.
Connect a bleed hose to the front brake caliper
bleed valve and bleed the system as follows:
1.
Squeeze the brake lever all the way and loosen
the bleed valve 1/2 of a
turn.
Wait several sec-
onds and then close the bleed valve.
2.
Release the brake lever slowly and wait several
seconds after it reaches the end of its travel.
3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2 until there are no air
bubbles in the bleed hose.
Tighten the bleed valve.
TORQUE: 5.4 N m (0.54 kgf-m, 4.0 Ibf-ft)
Perform air bleeding for the other side bleed valve.
After bleeding air, operate the front brake lever. If it
still feels spongy, bleed the system again.
Fill the front master cylinder reservoir to the casting
ledge with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer.
Install the diaphragm, set plate and reservoir cap,
and tighten the screws.
