2 24 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AIR BLEEDING THE BRAKE FLUID CIRCUIT Air trapped in the fluid circuit acts like a cushion to absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by the master cylin der and thus interferes with the full braking performance of the brake caliper The presence of air is indicated by sponginess of the brake lever and also by lack of braking force Considering the danger to which such trapped air exposes the machine and rider it is essential that after remounting the brake and restor ing the brake system to the normal condition the brake fluid cir cuit be purged of air in the following manner Fill up the master cylinder reservoir to the UPPER line Place the reservoir cap to prevent entry of dirt Attach a pipe to the air bleeder valve and insert the free end of the pipe into a receptacle 5 Air bleeder valve 7 5 N m 0 75 kgf m 5 5 Ib ft Front brake Bleed the air from the air bleeder valve Squeeze and release the brake lever several times in rapid succession and squeeze the lever fully without releasing it Loosen the bleeder valve by turning it a quarter of a turn so that the brake fluid runs into the receptacle this will remove the tension of the brake lever causing it to touch the handle bar grip Then close the valve pump and squeeze the lever and open the valve Repeat this process until the fluid flowing into the receptacle no longer contains air bubbles NOTE Replenish the brake fluid in the reservoir as necessary while bleeding the brake system Make sure that there is always some fluid visible in the reservoir Close the bleeder valve and disconnect the pipe Fill the res ervoir with brake fluid to the UPPER line CAUTION Handle brake fluid with care the fluid reacts chemi cally with paint plastics rubber materials and so on
