- Restore the brake fluid level (A) then reassemble the rubber
and the fluid reservoir cap (2).
WARNING!
During the bleed operation the fluid level
inside the reservoir must never be lower
than the minimum level.
Tightening torque for bleed valve is 1,2 ÷
1,6 kgm (12 ÷ 16 Nm; 8.8 ÷ 11.8 ft-lb).
As the braking fluid is a very corro-
sive substance, in the case it comes
in contact with your eyes wash them
abundantly with water.

During the bleeding of the braking
circuit keep the handlebar turned
leftwards. This is the way to lift the
pump tank and to make easier the blee-
ding of the braking system.
If the lever stroke gets stretchy and
the braking action results as poor in
the case of falls during competitions,
or after repair work in shops, repeat the
bleeding operation described above.
As the bleeding operation does not
fully eliminate the air inside the cir-
cuit, the small quantity of air remai-
ning inside will be eliminated after
a short time of use of the brake. In this ca-
se however, the action of the lever will be
harder and the stroke shorter.

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.
To drain the fluid, proceed as follows:
- Remove the cover (A) of the tank (21-mm spanner), remove
the diaphragm and fill with the fluid (DOT 4).
