HYDRAULIC BRAKE

Connect a bleed hose to the front caliper lower
bleed valve.
Repeat step 1 and 3 for front caliper bleed valve.
• Note that you may feel strong resistance on the
rear (combined) brake lever during pumping to
bleed air from the caliper. This symptom is
caused by the delay valve function. Be sure to
push the rear brake lever fully in by this point.
After air bubbles cease to appear in the fluid, repeat
air bleeding procedure about 2 – 3 times at each
bleed valve.
Make sure the bleed valves are closed and operate
the rear brake lever.
If it still feels spongy, bleed the system again.
After the bleeding air completely, tighten the bleed
valves to the specified torque.
Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid to the upper
level.
Install the diaphragm and diaphragm plate.
Install the reservoir cap and tighten the screws to
the specified torque.
