In this video we see how to bleed the brake fluid. We open the cover of the fluid reservoir above the pump: throughout the operation it is very important that the level does not drop below the minimum, so when it drops we must immediately top up with fresh fluid. We insert a closed key and a transparent rubber tube into the bleed valve of the caliper, which will end in a tank where we will collect the waste fluid. We pull the brake lever and simultaneously open the bleed valve: we will see fluid with some air bubbles coming out of the transparent tube, we close the bleed valve and then release the lever. We repeat the operation until only fluid, without air, comes out of the transparent tube. We tighten the bleed valve, remove the tube, adjust the level in the reservoir and close it.
