lThe system has been disassembled.
lA brake hose has been loosened or
removed.
lThe brake fluid is very low.
lThe brake operation is faulty.
A dangerous loss of braking performance
may occur if the brake system is not prop-
erly bleed.
1. Remove:
lMaster cylinder cap
lDiaphragm
lProtector (rear brake)
2. Bleed:
lBrake fluid

Air bleeding steps:
a. Add proper brake fluid to the reservoir.
b. Install the diaphragm. Be careful not to
spill any fluid or allow the reservoir to
overflow.
c. Connect the clear plastic tube 2 tightly
to the caliper bleed screw 1.
d. Place the other end of the tube into a
container.
e. Slowly apply the brake lever or pedal
several times.
f. Pull the lever in or push down on the
pedal. Hold the lever or pedal in position.
