caliper.
2. Remove:
• Brake caliper
3. Install:
• Brake pads
• Brake pad springs

Refer to “REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE
PADS” on page 4-31.
4. Fill:
• Brake master cylinder reservoir
• Brake fluid reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended brake fluid)
WARNING
EW3P61008
• 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 performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir and 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.
5. Bleed:
• Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)” on page 3-23.
6. Check:
• Brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark “a” → Add the
recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL” on page 3-22.
7. Check:
• Brake lever and brake pedal operation
Soft or spongy feeling → Bleed the brake sys-
tem.
