Make sure no damage is made to the brake pad material when moving the brake
pads.
Allowing the brake pads to come into contact with each other or sharp objects may
cause the material to crack or break.
Damage to the brake pads may result in reduced braking efficiency leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
2. Using a suitable a flat metal plate approximately 2 mm thick and 30 to 50 mm wide
(for example a gasket scraper) between the brake pads, pump the front brake lever
until the plate is held by the brake pads.
When disconnecting the brake hose from the master cylinder it is necessary to keep
the open end of the hose above the handlebars.
Allowing the brake hose to fall below the handlebar height will allow an excessive
amount of air to enter into the brake system.
Trapped air may cause the brake lever to feel spongy and contribute to reduced
braking efficiency.
3. Noting it's orientation for installation, disconnect the brake hose from the master
cylinder, discard the washers and allow the brake fluid to drain from the master
cylinder outlet into a suitable container.
1. Union bolt
2. Sealing washers
3. Brake hose
