NOTICE

Brake fluid quickly ruins painted plastic surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely washed away immediately.

  • Install the KIBS hydraulic unit together with the bracket.
  • Before installing the brake pipe, check to see that there is no damage on the threads of the brake pipe joint nut.

If there is any damage, replace the damaged parts with new ones.

  • Install the brake pipes (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).
  • Tighten the brake pipe joint nuts with the flare nut wrench.

  • Pull the lever [A] forward to connect the KIBS hydraulic unit connector [B].
  • Bleed the brake line (see Brake Line Bleeding).
