- Remove fluid reservoir cap (2), the rubber and
fill the reservoir with fresh brake fluid.
- Open the bleeding valve and pump with brake
lever (3) several times until the fluid, clear and
without bubbles, comes out of the hose: now
close the bleeding valve.-
- Restore the brake fluid level (A) then reassem-
ble the rubber and the fluid reservoir cap (2).

WARNING*:
During the bleed operation the fluid level in-
side 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 corrosive sub-
stance, 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 bleeding of the braking system.

If the lever stroke gets stretchy and the brak-
ing action results as poor in the case of falls
during competitions, or after repair work
in shops, repeat the bleeding operation de-
scribed above.
As the bleeding operation does not fully elimi-
nate the air inside the circuit, the small quan-
tity of air remaining inside will be eliminated
after a short time of use of the brake. In this
case however, the action of the lever will be
harder and the stroke shorter.
