BRAKES

HYDRAULIC BRAKE MAINTENANCE

FRONT BRAKE FLUID

Fluid level should be approximately 1/8 inch

(Jan)

below the edge

of the reservoir when refilling. Never let the fluid level get

below the visual indicator. When refilling use DOT 5 hydraulic

brake fluid.

FRONT BRAKE PADS

Pad thickness should be no less than 1/16 inch (1.511111).

If pad thick-

ness is less than 1/16 inch, replace by removing pad retainer pin.

BLEEDING THE BRAKE

If air is sucked into the hydraulic system due to low

fluid

leV!l or a

break in the brake line occurs, it is neccessary to bleed the system

in order to purge the air out.

Check the level of fluid in the reservoir and top up if required.

Remove

the dust cap from the bleed screw. Attach a rubber hose of internal diameter

of 1/4 inch

(&rm)

and approximately 24 inches (610mm) in length to the

bleed

sere-. Place the end of the hose in a glass jar filled with approximately

1 inch (25mn) of hydraulic fluid. Make sure that the end of the hose stays

submerged in the hydraulic fluid thru the entire b

eed process. Activate

the brake lever several times and hold in the braked position. Continue

this operation until no air bubbles can be seen coming from the hose. At

intervals make certain that the reservoir is kept topped up, otherwise air

will enter the system again.
