Fill the system by pulling the front brake lever 3-4 times
(see figure).
Repeat the above operations until the fluid reaches the
minimum level in the reservoir. Top up with fresh fluid
and carry on with the operation until fluid of a different
colour (fresh) flows out.
The quantity of brake fluid necessary for this operation
is approximately 250 cc.
Repeat this operation on both calipers.
Recommended brake fluid: AGIP Brake 4
Utilise only the prescribed brake fluid from
sealed containers. NEVER use old or used
brake fluid.
Tighten the bleed screw, remove the rubber tube, care-
fully clean the screw with alcohol, blow it dry and put the
protective cap back on.
Bleed screw tightening torque: 8 Nm
Slowly squeeze the brake lever to bring the pads in
contact with the disc and also checking that there is no
sponginess in the action of the lever. Air bubbles
should not rise in the chamber.
If the bleeding has been done correctly, the movement
of the lever is short and without any elastic effect.
Repeat the bleeding operation if there is still spongi-
ness at the lever.
