REAR BRAKING SYSTEM BLEEDING
The braking system must be bled after the fluid replacement
or when, due to air in the circuit, the pedal stroke is long and
spongy.
To bleed the system:
- Remove the reservoir cover (A) rubber boot and top up with
(DOT 4) brake fluid.
-- Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleed valve (1) on the caliper
and turn the other end of the hose into a container.

Depress the pedal (2) and keep it full down.
- Loosen the bleed
id (at first, only air will come out), then, closing the un-
ion slightly.
- Release the pedal and wait for a few seconds before repeat-
ing the operation until only fluid come out of the tube.

- Close the bleed union to the prescribed torque and check the
union letting out flu- fluid level (B) inside the reservoir before reassemblle the cap
(1).
If the bleeding operation has be done correctly, the pedal will
have no mushy feel. If not, repeat the operation.
NOTE
Should the motorcycle, due to a fall during a competition or
shop repairs, show some elasticity of the brake lever stroke,
with a subsequent braking efficiency decrease, you'll to repeat
the circuit bleeding as above described.
WARNING!
During the bleed operation the fluid level in-
side the reservoir must never be lower than
the minimum level.
Tightening torque for bleed valve is 1,2 ÷
1,6 kgm (12 ÷ 16 Nm; 8.8 ÷ 11.8 ft-lb).
