WARNING
• Before installation, clean and lubricate the
internal parts. Use new brake fluid for
cleaning and lubricating.
• Never use solvents on internal brake com-
ponents as they will cause the piston seals
to swell and distort.
• When the brake caliper is disassembled,
replace the brake caliper piston seal and
the brake caliper piston dust seal with new
ones.

WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.
ECA
NOTICE
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
5. Bleed:
• Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYS-
TEM” on page 3-24.
