ASSEMBLING THE FRONT BRAKE CALI-
PERS
WARNING
EWA13620
• Before installation, all internal brake com-
ponents should be cleaned and lubricated
with clean or new brake fluid.
• Never use solvents on internal brake
components as they will cause the piston
seals to swell and distort.
• Whenever a brake caliper is disassem-
bled, replace the brake caliper piston
seals.
1. Install:
• Brake caliper seals
• Brake caliper pistons

INSTALLING THE FRONT BRAKE CALI-
PERS
The following procedure applies to both of the
brake calipers.
FZ6-N/FZ6-NA/FZ6-S/FZ6-SA
1. Install:
• Brake caliper “1”
• Copper washers
• Brake hose “2”
• Union bolt “3”
WARNING
EWA13530
Proper brake hose routing is essential to
insure safe vehicle operation. Refer to
"CABLE ROUTING" on page 2-47.
CAUTION:
ECA14170
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake caliper “1”, make sure the brake pipe
“a” touches the projection “b” on the brake
caliper.
2. Fill:
• Brake master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended brake fluid)
WARNING
EWA13090
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid
that is already in the system. Mixing brake
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.
CAUTION:
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
