Loosen the bleed valve and pump the brake
lever.
Stop operating the brake when no more fluid
flows out of the bleed valve.
Brake fluid filling/Air bleeding
Do not mix different types of fluid since
they are not compatible.
Fill the master cylinder with DOT 4 brake
fluid to the upper level.
Connect a commercially available brake
bleeder to the front caliper bleed valve.
Check the fluid level while bleeding the
brake to prevent air from being pumped into
the system.
When using a brake bleeding tool, follow the
manufacture's operating instructions.
Pump the brake bleeder and loosen the front
caliper bleed valve. Add fluid when the fluid
level in the master cylinder is low to prevent
drawing air into the system.
Repeat the above procedures until no air
bubbles appear in the brake hose.
Close the front caliper bleed valve and
operate the front brake lever.
If it still spongy, bleed the system again.
