BRAKE FLUID FILLING/AIR
BLEEDING
Do not mix different types of fluid since
they are not compatible.
Fill the master cylinder with DOT 4 to the
upper level.
Connect a commercially available brake
bleeder to the front caliper bleed valve.
Check the fluid level often while bleeding the
brake to prevent air from being pumped into
the system.
Pump the brake bleeder and loosen the front
caliper bleed valve. Add fluid when the fluid
level in the master cylinder is low to prevent
drawing air into the system.
Repeat the above procedures until no air
bubbles appear in the plastic hose.
Close the front caliper bleeding valve and
operate the front brake lever.
If it's still spongy, bleeding the system again.
