CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE FRONT BRAKE
FLUID
Check the level of the brake fluid through
sight A. The level of the fluid should never
fall below the mark in the sight.
RESTORING THE LEVEL OF THE FRONT
BRAKE FLUID
To restore the level of the brake fluid, loosen
the two screws 1, lift cap 2 and add brake
fluid (IP DOT 4) until its level is 5 mm be-
low the upper rim of the reservoir.
WARNING
We recommend using DOT 4 brake fluid.
Should this fluid be unavailable, use DOT
5.1 fluid instead. Do not on any account
use DOT 5 brake fluid. This is a purple
fluid with a base of silicone oil which re-
quires special seals and tubes.
WARNING
The brake fluid is extremely corrosive. Take
care not to spill it on the paintwork.
BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKE
Follow these steps to bleed the front brake
circuit:
•Remove rubber cap B from valve C.
•Remove the oil reservoir cap.
•Insert one end of a small tube into valve
C and place the other end in a container.
•Unscrew valve B (while pulling the brake
lever) and then pump by repeatedly ac-
tuating the brake lever until oil starts flow-
ing out continuously with no air bubbles.
During this operation, it is important that
the lever should not be released com-
pletely and that the brake pump reser-
voir should be continuously refilled to
make up for the oil that is flowing out.
•Tighten the valve and extract the tube.
•Replace the cap.
•Replace the fluid reservoir cap on the
B
brake pump.
