Front brake pump
Removal
- Remove the rear handlebar cover.
- Drain the braking system.
- Disconnect the brake fluid line from the pump, paying attention to a possible escape of remaining brake fluid.
- Remove the brake stop button from the lever.
- Undo the two U-bolt fixing screws.
- Remove the brake pump with the lever.
Refitting
- Upon refitting, perform the operation but in reverse order.
- Tighten the hydraulic line to the prescribed torque and purge the system.
- When the operation is over, tighten the brake fluid bleed screw to the prescribed torque.
N.B.
WHILE REFITTING, REPLACE THE COPPER GASKETS ON THEIR FITTINGS.
WARNING
BRAKE FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC; THAT IS, IT ABSORBS MOISTURE FROM THE SURROUNDING AIR. IF THE LEVEL OF MOISTURE IN THE FLUID EXCEEDS A GIVEN VALUE, BRAKING WILL BE INEFFICIENT. THEREFORE, ALWAYS USE FLUID FROM SEALED CONTAINERS. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS YOU SHOULD CHANGE THIS FLUID EVERY TWO YEARS. IF BRAKES ARE USED INTENSELY AND/OR IN HARSH CONDITIONS, CHANGE THE FLUID MORE FREQUENTLY.
CAUTION
WHEN CARRYING OUT THE OPERATION, BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK FROM BETWEEN THE BLEED SCREW AND ITS SEAT ON THE CALLIPER. CAREFULLY DRY THE CALLIPER AND DEGREASE THE DISC SHOULD THERE BE BRAKE FLUID ON IT.

Rear - combined Remove the rubber cap from the bleed screw. Insert a rubber pipe in the bleed screw to permit the brake fluid to be recovered. With the brake lever, load the system and bring it up to the required pressure. Keeping the brake lever pulled, loosen the bleed screw to purge the air in the system. Then tighten the bleed screw Repeat the operation until only brake fluid comes out of the rubber pipe. Remove the fluid recovery pipe and refit the rubber cap over the bleed screw. Top up the brake fluid to the right level in the reservoir.
