BRAKE)
Check the brake fluid level on level ground.
BRAKE FLUID BLEEDING
In order to avoid spilling brake fluid, connect a
transparent hose to the bleed valve.
Fully apply the brake lever and then loosen the
brake caliper bleed valve to drain the brake fluid
until there is no air bubbles in the brake fluid.
Then, tighten the bleed valve.
Repeat these steps until the brake system is free
of air.
BRAKE FLUID REFILLING
Add DOT-4 brake fluid to the brake reservoir.
Make sure to bleed air from the brake system.
BRAKE PAD/DISK REPLACEMENT
Remove the two bolts attaching the brake
caliper.
Remove the brake caliper.
Compress the brake caliper seat, and press down
the fixed-reed to take out the brake pads.
When operating the brake lever, the brake
reservoir cap must be tightened securely
to avoid splash of brake fluid.
When servic
ing the brake system, use
shop towels to cover plastic parts and
coated surfaces to avoid damage caused
by splash of brake fluid.
Brake fluid reservoir
Caliper
When bleeding, be careful not to allow
air in the brake reservoir flowing into the
brake system.
Never use dirty or unspecified brake fluid
or mix different brake fluids because it
will damage the brake system.
Bolts
The brake pads must be replaced as a set
to ensure the balance of the brake disk.
