BRAKE SYSTEM AIR BLEEDING
WARNING
Bleed the brake system if:
The system has been disassembled.
A brake hose has been loosened or
removed.
The brake fluid is very low.
The brake operation is faulty.
A dangerous loss of braking performance
may occur if the brake system is not prop-
erly bled.
1. Remove:
Master cylinder cap
Diaphragm
Reservoir float (front brake)
Protector (rear brake)
2. Bleed:
Brake fluid
ÈFront
ÉRear
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.
g. Loosen the bleed screw and allow the
lever or pedal to travel towards its limit.
h. Tighten the bleed screw when the lever
or pedal limit has been reached; then
release the lever or pedal.
T R..

6 Nm (0.6 m  kg, 4.3 ft  lb)
i. Repeat steps (e) to (h) until of the air
bubbles have been removed from the
system.

NOTE:
If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to
let the brake fluid system stabilize for a few
hours. Repeat the bleeding procedure when
the tiny bubbles in the system have disap-
peared.
j. Add brake fluid to the level line on the
reservoir.
WARNING
Check the operation of the brake after
bleeding the brake system.
