INSTALLING THE REAR BRAKE MASTER
CYLINDER
1. Install:
• Copper washers “1”
• Rear brake hose “2”
• Rear brake hose union bolt “3”
WARNING
EWA13530
Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation. Refer to “CABLE
ROUTING” on page 2-43.
CAUTION:
ECA3D81005
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake master cylinder, make sure the brake
pipe touches the projection “a” on the brake
caliper bracket as shown.
2. Fill:
• Brake fluid 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 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.
3. Bleed:
• Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” on page 3-21.
4. 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 3-20.
5. Check:
• Brake lever operation
Soft or spongy feeling → Bleed the brake sys-
tem.
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” on page 3-21.
6. Adjust:
• Brake pedal adjusting bolt position
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE REAR DISC
