 BRAKE FLUID CHANGE/AIR
 BLEED
 Place the motorcycle on its main stand on
 level ground and set the handlebar upright.
 Remove the two screws attaching the brake
 fluid reservoir cap.

   Use shop towels to cover plastic parts
   and coated surfaces to avoid damage
   caused by splash of brake fluid.



 Connect a transparent hose to the brake
 caliper bleed valve and then loosen the bleed
 valve nut.
 Use a syringe to draw the brake fluid out
 through the hose.




 BRAKE FLUID REFILLING                                         Bleed Valve
 Connect a transparent hose and syringe to the
 brake caliper bleed valve and then loosen the
 bleed valve nut.                                 Brake Reservoir
 Fill the brake reservoir with brake fluid and
 use the syringe to draw brake fluid into it
 until there is no air bubbles in the hose.
 Then, tighten the bleed valve nut.

    When drawing brake fluid with the
    syringe, the brake fluid level should be
    kept over 1/2 of the brake reservoir
    height.
    Use only the recommended brake fluid.

 BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
 Connect a transparent hose to the bleed valve
 and fully apply the brake lever after
 continuously pull it several times. Then,
 loosen the bleed valve nut to bleed air from
 the brake system. Repeat these steps until the
 brake system is free of air.

   When bleeding air from the brake system,
   the brake fluid level should be kept over
   1/2 of the brake reservoir height.
