   · When servicing the brake system, use
     shop towels to cover plastic parts and
     coated surfaces to avoid damage
     caused by spill of brake fluid.

 Brake Fluid Bleeding
 In order to avoid spill of brake fluid, connect
 a transparent hose to the bleed valve.
  Warning
   Brake fluid spilled on brake pads or
   brake disk will reduce the braking
   effect. Clean the brake pads and brake
   disk with a high quality brake degreaser.
 Fully apply the brake lever and then loosen
 the brake caliper bleed valve to drain the
 brake fluid until there is no air bubbles in the
 brake fluid. Then, tighten the bleed valve.        Front Brake Caliper
 Repeat these steps until the brake system is
 free of air.

 Brake Fluid Refilling
 Add DOT-4 brake fluid to the brake
 reservoir.
 · When bleeding, be careful not to allow
     air in the brake reservoir flowing into
     the brake system.
   · When using a brake bleeder, follow
     the manufacturer`s instructions.
   · Never use dirty or unspecified brake
     fluid or mix different brake fluids be-
     cause it will damage the brake system.
 Make sure to bleed air from the brake system.
