- Connect a clear hose to the air bleeder valve and insert the other end of the hose into a receptacle.
- Loosen the air bleeder valve and pump the brake lever until the old brake fluid flows out of the brake system.
- Close the air bleeder valve and disconnect the clear hose.
Tightening torque air bleeder valve (front caliper): 7.5 N·m (0.75 Kgf-m, 5.5 Lbf-ft)
- Fill the reservoir with brake fluid to the upper mark of the reservoir.
- Bleed air from the brake fluid circuit. Refer to “air bleeding from brake fluid circuit” .
- Install the diaphragm and reservoir cap.
Rear brake
- Place the motorcycle on a level surface.
- Remove the right side frame cover. Refer to “exterior parts removal and installation” in section 9d .
- Remove the rear brake fluid reservoir mounting bolt (1).

Bf: brake fluid (dot 4)
- Connect a clear hose to the air bleeder valve and insert the other end of the hose into a receptacle.
- Loosen the air bleeder valve and pump the brake pedal until the old brake fluid flows out of the brake system.
- Close the air bleeder valve and disconnect the clear hose.
Tightening torque air bleeder valve (rear caliper): 6 n·m (0.6 Kgfm, 4.5 Lbf-ft)
- Fill the reservoir with brake fluid to the upper line of the reservoir.
- Bleed air from the brake fluid circuit. Refer to “air bleeding from brake fluid circuit” .
- Install the diaphragm and reservoir cap.
- Install the removed parts.
Air bleeding from brake fluid circuit
Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion to
absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by
the master cylinder and thus interferes with the full
braking performance of the ...
