ECA5UXB013
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake master cylinder, make sure the brake
pipe“a” touches the projection “b” as

Refer to “REPLACING THE REAR BRAKE
PADS” on page 4-32.
3. Fill the brake fluid with the specified amount.
● Brake fluid reservoir
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 flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
● 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.
4. Bleed:
● Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” on page 3-23.

● 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 3-21.
6. Check:
● Brake pedal operation
Soft or spongy feeling → Bleed the brake
system.
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
