Bleed the hydraulic system if it has been disassembled or if the brake fesls spongy. Do not allow foreign material to enter the system when filling the reservoir. Brake tluid will damage painted, plastic and rubber pans. Whenever handling brake fluid, protect the painted, plastic and rubber parts by covering them with a rag. If fluid does get on Thes£ parts, wipe it off with a clean cloth. Always check brake operation hefore riding the motorcycle. If the metal brake pipe has to be removed, loosen the brake pipe nut while holding the brake hose nut to prevent the brake hose or brake hose stay from tivistrng or bending.

Discard contaminated pads and clean the disc with a high quality brake degreasing agent. CAUTION Do not let foreign material to enter the system when filling the reservoir. • Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber parts. Place a rag over these parts whenever the system is serviced. • BRAKE FLUID DRAINING With the fluid reservoir parallel to the ground, remove the reservoir cover, set plate and diaphragm. Connect a bleed hose to the caliper bleed valve. Loosen the bleed valve and pump the brake lever until no more fluid flows out of the bleed valve. BRAKE FLUID FILLING/BLEEDING Fill the master cylinder reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container. CAUTION • Do not mix different types of fluid. They are not compatible. Connect a commercially available brake bleeder to the bleed valve. Pump the brake bleeder and loosen the bleed valve. Add fluid when the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir is low. I NOTE • Check the fluid level often while bleeding the brake to prevent air from being pumped into the system. • Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container. • When using a brake bleeding tool, follow the manufacturer's operating instruction. Repeat the above procedures until air bubbles do not appear in the plastic hose. NOTE • If air is entering the bleeder from around the bleed valve threads, seal the threads with teflon tape. Close the bleed valve and operate the brake lever. If rt still feels spongy, repeat the above procedure. 14-3 HYDRAULIC BRAKE If a brake bleeder is not available, use the following procedure: Pump up the system pressure with the brake lever until there are no air bubbles in the fluid flowing out of the reservoir small hole. M Connect the bleed hose to the bleed valve and bleed the system as follows: 1. Squeeze the brake lever, open the bleed valve 1 /4 turn and then close the bfeed valve. NOTE - Do not release the brake lever until the bleed valve has been closed. 2. Release the brake lever slowly and wail several seconds aftrer it reaches the end of its travel. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until air bubbles cease to appear in the fluid coming out of the bleed valve. Tighten the bleed valve.

If the fan motor does not start, disconnect the 2P: Black connector from the switch. Connect together Black/Blue and Green terminals of the 2P connector with a suitable jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch ON. The cooling fan motor should start running. If it does not start, check for battery voltage from the Black/Blue lead of the fan motor connector and ground with ignition switch ON. If there is no voltage, check for a blown fuse, loose terminals or connectors, or an open circuit. ( 1 | THERMOSTATIC SWITCH (1) THERMOMETER If there is voltage, inspect the thermostatic switch as follows: Drain the coolant (page 5-4) and remove the thermostatic switch. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to the connector of the thermostatic switch and the other to the body. Suspend the thermostatic switch in a pan of coolant (50 — 50 mixture) and check the temperatures at which the switch opens and closes. Make sure that there is no continuity at room temperature and then gradually raise the coolant temperature. The switch should show continuity (close) at 93°—97°C (199° — 207°F}. (2) THERMOSTATIC SWITCH NOTE • Keep the temperature for 3 minutes to confirm continuity. A sudden change of temperature will Cause an incorrect temperature reading between the thermometer and switch. • Do not let the switch or thermometer touch the pan as it will give a false reading. • Immerse the switch in coolant up to its threads. Install the thermostatic switch. TORQUE: 18 N*m (1.8 kg-m, 13ft-lb) Fill the cooling system (page 5-4), TEMPERATURE SENSOR Disconnect the Green/Blue wire from the temperature sensor. Check for continuity between the sensor body and ground. There should be continuity. If there is no continuity, check the thermostat housing for looseness and recheck.
