FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM BLEEDING
The braking system must be bled after the fluid replacement
or when, due to air in the circuit, the lever stroke is long and
spongy.
Proceed as follows:
- Remove the rubber cap on the bleeding valve (1 or 1A).
2
- Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeding valve on the brake
caliper and turn the other end of the hose into a container
(make sure that the end of the hose is submerged in brake
fluid during the entire bleeding operation).
- Remove fluid reservoir cap (2), the rubber and fill the reser-
voir with fresh brake fluid.
1
- Open the bleeding valve and pump with brake lever several
times until the fluid, clear and without bubbles, comes out
of the hose: now close the bleeding valve.
