BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM
EWA
WARNING
Bleed the brake system whenever:
• The system is disassembled.
• A brake hose is loosened, disconnected,
or replaced.
• The brake fluid level is very low.
• Brake operation is faulty.
1. Remove:
• Brake master cylinder cap
• Reservoir diaphragm
• Reservoir float (front brake)
• Protector (rear brake)
TIP
• Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or allow
the reservoir to overflow.
• Make sure that there is enough brake fluid be-
fore applying the brake. Ignoring this precau-
tion could allow air to enter the brake system,
considerably lengthening the bleeding proce-
dure.
• If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to
let the brake fluid settle for a few hours. Re-
peat the bleeding procedure when the tiny
bubbles in the hose have disappeared.
2. Bleed the brake system.

a. Fill the reservoir to the proper level with the
recommended brake fluid.
b. Install the reservoir diaphragm.
c. Connect the plastic hose “1” to the bleed
screw “2” securely, and place a container
under the end of the plastic hose.
d. Slowly apply the brake several times.
e. Fully pull the brake lever or fully press down
the brake pedal and hold it in position.
f. Loosen the bleed screw.
TIP
Loosening the bleed screw will release the
pressure in the brake caliper and cause the
brake lever to contact the throttle grip or the
brake pedal to fully extend.
g. Tighten the bleed screw and then release
the brake lever or brake pedal.
h. Repeat steps (d) to (g) until all of the air bub-
bles have disappeared from the brake fluid
in the plastic hose.
TIP
During the procedure, keep adding brake fluid
to the reservoir.
ECA
NOTICE
• Wipe off any brake fluid on the brake
discs, tires, wheels, etc.
• Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
i. Tighten the bleed screw.
j. Pour brake fluid to the reservoir up to the
specified level.
Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL” on page 3-27.
