EWA
WARNING
Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation.
ECA
NOTICE

is directed as shown and the brake hose
touches the projection “b” on the brake cal-
iper.

WARNING
• 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.
ECA
NOTICE
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 BRAKE SYS-
TEM” on page 3-25.
6. Check:
• Brake fluid level
The minimum level mark “a” or below 
Add.
Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL” on page 3-30.
7. Check:
• Brake pedal operation
A softy or spongy feeling  Bleed the brake
system.
Refer to “BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYS-
TEM” on page 3-25.

WARNING
• Before installation, all internal brake com-
ponents should be cleaned and lubricated
with clean or new brake fluid.
• Never use solvents on internal brake com-
ponents.
1. Wash the brake master cylinder and the
brake master cylinder kit with brake fluid.
2. Install:
• Primary cylinder cup “1”
• Secondary cylinder cup “2”
Install to the brake master cylinder piston
“3”.
EWA
WARNING
Apply brake fluid to the cylinder cups and
install them as shown. Wrong orientation in
installation causes poor braking perfor-
mance.
3. Install:
• Spring “1”
Install to the brake master cylinder piston
“2”.
TIP
Install the spring with a smaller inside diameter
to the brake master cylinder piston.4. Install:
• Master cylinder kit “1”
• Push rod “2”
• Circlip “3”
• Dust boot “4”
TIP
• Before installation, apply brake fluid to the
brake master cylinder kit.
• Before installation, apply silicone grease to
