BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE
• All tubes and hoses must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other part s when turning steering both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise.
• Brake tubes and hoses are an important safety part. Always disassemble the parts and retighten
their fittings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged part
is detected.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted surfaces of body , immediately wipe them with cloth and then wash it away with
water.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• When removing components, cover brake line connect ions so that dirt, dust, or other foreign mat-
ters do not get in.
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Front Brake Tube and HoseINFOID:0000000005928397
REMOVAL
1. Drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-9, "Drain and Refill".
2. Using a flare nut wrench, remove brake tube from brake hose.
3. Remove union bolt and discard the copper washers. CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper washers
4. Remove brake hose from caliper assembly.
5. Remove lock plate, and remove brake hose.
INSTALLATION
1. Assemble union bolt and new copper washers on to brake hose. CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper washers
2. Position the L-shape metal fitting of the brake hose to the brake caliper assembly positioning hole.
3. Tighten union bolt to the specified torque. Refer to BR-11,
"Hydraulic Circuit".
4. Connect brake hose to brake tube, and temporarily tighten flare nut by hand as much as possible.
5. Secure brake hose and brake tube with lock plates.
6. Tighten flare nut to the specified torque with a suitable tool. Refer to BR-11, "
Hydraulic Circuit".
7. Bleed the air from the brake hydraulic system. Refer to BR-9, "
Bleeding Brake System".
Rear Brake Tube and HoseINFOID:0000000005928398
REMOVAL
1. Drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-9, "Drain and Refill".
2. Remove brake tube from brake hose using a suitable tool.

3. Remove lock plate, and remove brake hose.
INSTALLATION
1. Connect brake hose to brake tube, and temporaril y tighten flare nut by hand as much as possible.
2. Secure it to the bracket with the lock plate.
3. Tighten flare nut to the specified torque using a suitable tool. Refer to BR-11, "
Hydraulic Circuit".
4. Bleed the air from the brake hydraulic system. Refer to BR-9, "
Bleeding Brake System".
Inspection After InstallationINFOID:0000000005928399
CAUTION:
• Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fitti ngs, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace
applicable part with a new one, if damaged part is detected.
• If leak is detected at the connections, retighten it or replace the damaged part.
1. Check brake hose, tube, and connections for fluid leak s, damage, twisting, deformation, contact with other
parts, and loose connections.
2. While depressing pedal under a force of 785 N (80 kg-f, 177 lb-f) with the engine running for approxi- mately 5 seconds, check for fluid leaks from each part of the brake hydraulic system.

DUAL PROPORTIONING VALVE
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000005928400
Removal
1. Remove the cowl top. Refer to EI-24, "Removal and Installation".
2. Disconnect brake lines from dual proportioning valve. • Mark brake lines for installation.
3. Remove dual proportioning valve bolt and dual proportioning valve.
4. Remove two bolts and bracket.
Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• When installing brake lines to the dual proportioning valve, tighten to specifications. Refer to BR-11,
"Hydraulic Circuit".
InspectionINFOID:0000000005928401
CAUTION:
• Carefully monitor brake fluid level at master cylinder.
• Use the recommended new brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on paint areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Connect a suitable brake fluid pressure gauge to air bleeders of front and rear brakes on either LH and RH side.
2. Bleed air from the brake fluid pressure gauge.
3. Check fluid pressure specific ation by depressing the brake pedal.
• If output pressure is out of specification, replace the dual proportioning valve.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)
4. Bleed air after disconnecting the brake fluid pressure gauge. Refer to BR-9, "Bleeding Brake System".
