AIR BLEEDING FROM BRAKING CIRCUIT

This operation is required when the movement of the control levers is long and elastic because of the presence
of air inside the braking circuits. To bleed the air, operate as follows:
Braking circuit for front brake
■ Turn the handlebar until fluid reservoir «A» - Fig. 20-13 reaches the horizontal position.
■ Fill up reservoir «A» - Fig. 20-13, if necessary, taking care that during the bleeding operation the fluid does
not go down the lower level.
■ Act on the two «B» - Fig. 20-15 calipers as follows:
1 fit on the drain plug «C» - Fig. 20-14 (after removing the rubber cover «D» - Fig. 20-14) the transparent flexible
duct «E» - Fig. 20-15 with the other end plunged in a transparent container «F» - Fig. 20-15 partially filled with
fluid of the same type.
2 Loosen drain plug «C» - Fig. 20-15.
3 Completely operate control lever «G» - Fig. 20-13 on the handlebar several times: release it slowly and wait
a few seconds before pulling it again. Repeat the operation until the pipe «F» - Fig. 20-15 plunged into the
transparent container «E» - Fig. 20-15 emits airless fluid.
4 Keep control lever «G» - Fig. 20-13 fully pulled and lock drain plug «C» - Fig. 20-15. Then remove plastic pipe
«E» - Fig. 20-15 and remount the rubber cap «D» - Fig. 20-14 on drain plug.
If the bleeding operation has been correctly done, a direct and efficient working of the fluid will be immediately
perceived after the initial idle movement of lever «G» - Fig. 20-13.
If not, repeat the air bleeding operation.
