Refilling

BRAKE FLUID

Refilling


FRONT BRAKE


CAUTION:
- If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
- Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
- Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scattering of brake fluid.
- Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
- Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the refilling.
1.Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.

CAUTION:
- Never reuse drained brake fluid.
- Never allow oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
2.Turn the ignition switch ON.
3.Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
4.Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
5.Depress the brake pedal several times until the refilled brake fluid is discharged and tighten the air bleeder to the specified torque with the brake pedal depressed. Refer to "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View" Exploded View.
6.Perform the air bleeding. Refer to "Bleeding Brake System" Service and Repair.
