BRAKES 12-25
Brake Fluid
•
Bleed the brake line and the master cylinder.
Repeat this operation until no more air can be seen com-
ing out into the plastic hose.
1. Pump the brake lever until it becomes hard, and apply
the brake and hold it [A].
2. Quickly open and close [B] the bleed valve while hold-
ing the brake applied.
3. Release the brake [C].
NOTICE
After pumping the brake lever several times, re-
leasing it without opening and closing of the bleed
valve may cause brake fluid to be blown back from
the master cylinder reservoir. Brake fluid spilt
on painted surfaces and plastic parts will quickly
damage them. Be sure to open and close the bleed
valve.
NOTE
○
The fluid level must be checked often during the bleed-
ing operation and replenished with fresh brake fluid as
necessary. If the fluid in the reservoir runs completely
out any time during bleeding, the bleeding operation
must be done over again from the beginning since air
will have entered the line.

Remove the clear plastic hose.

Tighten the bleed valve, and install the rubber cap.
Torque - Front Master Cylinder Bleed Valve: 5.4 N·m (0.55
