Refill with the same type of fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction leading to poor braking performance

Be careful that water does not enter the brake fluid reservoir during refilling. Water will signifi- cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may cause vapour lock

CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS/ AIR BLEEDING (HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM)

CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS

1. Operate the brake lever

2. Check:

• Front brake pad

Brake plate §a almost touches the brake disc Replace the brake pads as a set.

See FRONT AND BACK BRAKES in Chapter 7

NOTE:

When bleeding the brake system, ensure that there is always enough brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir before applying the brake lever. Ignoring this precau- tion could allow air to enter the brake system, consi- derably lengthening the bleeding procedure.

j. Tighten the bleed screw Bleed screw
