4-30 FRONT AND REAR BRAKESCHAS a WARNING NOTE: 30 Nm (3.0 mkg, 22 ftlb) WARNING CAUTION: EAS00598 ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLING THE FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER Before installation, all internal brake com- ponents should be cleaned and lubricated with clean or new brake fluid. Never use solvents on internal brake com- ponents. Recommended brake fluid DOT 4 1. Install: master cylinder kit circlip New brake master cylinder 1 Install the brake master cylinder holder with the “UP” mark facing up. Align the end of the brake master cylinder holder with the punch mark a on the handle- bar. First, tighten the upper bolt, then the lower bolt. 2. Install: copper washers 1 New brake hose 2 union bolt 3 Proper brake hose routing is essential to in- sure safe motorcycle operation. Refer to “CABLE ROUTING” in chapter 2. When installing the brake hose onto the brake master cylinder, make sure that the brake pipe touches the projection a on the brake master cylinder.

4-31 FRONT AND REAR BRAKESCHAS NOTE: WARNING While holding the brake hose, tighten the union bolt as shown. Turn the handlebar to the left and right to make sure the brake hose does not touch other parts (e.g., wire harness, cables, leads). Correct if necessary. 3. Fill: brake master cylinder reservoir (with the specified amount of the recom- mended brake fluid) Recommended brake fluid DOT 4 Use only the designated brake fluid. Other brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and poor brake performance. Refill with the same type of brake fluid that is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction, leading to poor brake perfor- mance. When refilling, be careful that water does not enter the brake master cylinder reser- voir. Water will significantly lower the boil- ing point of the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock. Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up any spilt brake fluid immediately. 4. Bleed: brake system Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM” in chapter 3. 5. Check: brake fluid level Below the minimum level mark a Add the recommended brake fluid to the proper level. Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL” in chapter 3. 6. Check: brake lever operation Soft or spongy feeling Bleed the brake system. Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM” in chapter 3.
