After riding your unit, be sure to clean any build
up of mud, sand and dirt from the brake rotor skid
plate. This will protect the rotor disc from rust and
corrosion.
To Fill the Reservoir
Remove the reservoir cover by removing the two
cover bolts.
Fill the reservoir to 1/8” from top with Dot-3 SAE-
J1703 grade brake fluid.
Caution: DO NOT allow dirt to fall into the
reservoir.
Refold the cover gasket as shown in picture and
replace cover and bolts
Purging Brake Lines
For the hydraulic brake system to operate safely, the
brake system must be purged of air in the lines and
reservoir.
To
bleed the air will require two people to perform the
following procedure.
1. Place a drain pan under the brake caliper to
catch the fluid.
2. Open the bleeder valve ½ turn counter
clockwise.
3. Press the brake pedal to expel air from the
system.
4. While holding the brake pedal, close the
bleeder valve.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the brake fluid
coming from the bleeder valve is a solid
stream without any air, then close the valve
and replace rubber protection cap.
6. Test the brake system by pressing the pedal,
the pedal should feel firm and stop without
fading.
