The assembly includes the brake lever, reservoir cover, brake line fitting, and all necessary internal components for a complete replacement.

What type of brake fluid should I use?

You should use DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Always consult your motorcycle's service manual for the exact specification.

How often should I replace the brake fluid?

Brake fluid should typically be replaced every two years, or as recommended in your motorcycle's service manual, to maintain optimal performance and prevent corrosion.

Is installation difficult?

Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge. It involves disconnecting the old unit, connecting the new one, and bleeding the brake system. If you are not comfortable performing this task, professional installation is recommended.

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy or soft.

The brake system likely contains air. Bleed the brake lines thoroughly to remove any trapped air. Ensure the brake fluid level is correct.

Brake fluid is leaking from the assembly.

Check all connections, especially the brake line fitting and reservoir seal, for tightness. Inspect the assembly for any cracks or damage. Replace seals or the entire assembly if damaged.

Brake lever does not return to its original position.

Ensure the brake lever pivot point is clean and lubricated. Check for any obstructions or binding in the cable or internal mechanism. Verify the master cylinder is correctly seated.

Inconsistent braking performance.

Confirm the brake system is properly bled and filled with fresh brake fluid. Inspect the brake pads and rotor for wear or contamination. Check for any blockages in the brake line.
