Warning! Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paintwork. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In the case of accidental contact, wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of running water.
Filling the front brake circuit
Undo the screws (3) and remove the cover and membrane (1) from the front brake fluid reservoir (2).
Attach a length of transparent plastic tubing to the bleed valve (4) and insert the other end of the tubing in a container placed on the floor.
Siphon off the fluid from the reservoir (2).
Fill the reservoir (2) with new brake fluid up to the MAX mark.
Operate the clutch lever two or three times until the circuit is pressurized.
Hold the lever pulled in towards the handgrip.
Loosen the bleed valve (4) to allow fluid to escape.
Warning! While filling the system, always keep the fluid level above the MIN mark to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the circuit.
Allow the fluid to flow from the bleed valve (4) until it changes colour.
Tighten the bleed valve to the specified torque (Frame torque settings) and top up the reservoir fluid level.
Note: Repeat this operation on each brake caliper.
Filling the rear brake circuit
Unscrew the cap (5) of the rear brake fluid reservoir (6).
Attach a length of transparent plastic tubing to the bleed valve (7) and insert the other end of the tubing in a container placed on the floor.
Siphon off the fluid from the reservoir (5).
Fill the reservoir (5) with new brake fluid up to the MAX mark.
Operate the brake pedal two or three times to pressurize the circuit.
Hold the pedal pressed down.
Warning! While filling the system, always keep the fluid level above the MIN mark to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the circuit.
Allow the fluid to flow from the bleed valve (7) until it changes colour.
Tighten the bleed valve (7) to the specified torque (Frame torque settings) and top up the reservoir fluid level.
