2.2.5. REAR
BRAKE
BLEEDING
The air, if any, present inside the hydraulic circuit will serve
as "pad" by absorbing most of the pressure coming from the
brake master cylinder and thus reducing the calliper
efficiency during braking.
If some air is present inside the circuit, the brake control is
"spongy" and the braking efficiency is reduced.
DANGER
It is fundamental that air is bled off the
hydraulic circuit after the brakes have been
refitted and the braking system has been
restored to its standard operating conditions,
since it would be very dangerous for the
vehicle and the rider not to do so.
NOTE
Bleed air with vehicle on flat ground.
While bleeding the hydraulic circuit, top up reservoir with
brake fluid as required. Make sure there is always some fluid
in the reservoir throughout the process.
•
Remove the bleed valve rubber cap.
•
Insert one end of a transparent plastic tubing inside the
rear brake calliper bleed valve and the other end in a
container for collection.
•
Pull and quickly release the rear brake lever a few
times, then keep it pulled.
•
Loosen the bleed valve by 1\4 of a turn so as the brake
fluid flows in the container, this will remove any
tension from the lever and help it travel fully home.
•
Retighten the bleed valve before the lever is fully
squeezed in.
•
Repeat process until the fluid draining into the
container is totally clear of air bubbles.
NOTE
While bleeding the hydraulic circuit, top up reservoir
with brake fluid as required. Make sure there is always some
fluid in the reservoir throughout the process.
•
Tighten the bleed valve and remove the tubing.
•
Top up fluid inside tank.
•
Refit the rubber cap.
CHANGING THE PADS
•
Turn pin and slide out split pin.
•
Remove the split pin.
