Yamaha V-Star 1100 Bleeding The Brakes Service



(1) Protect your painted surfaces from contact with new or used brake fluid. Damage to the finish will result from unprotected surfaces. If you get some brake fluid on the paint… don’worry… just clean it off immediately. If you t leave it on… after a while the paint will begin to peel off. That is why we need to be careful regarding this. (2) Install the new brake lines using the banjo bolts and washers supplied in the kit. This should be pretty self-explanatory. Match the ends on the new brake lines to the ends on the factory lines. Rule of thumb: Install the lines any way that they will fit. Torque the new banjo bolts to about 15-20 ft/lbs. If you are not installing new lines… skip this step. But you already knew that. (3) Remove the master cylinder cover, metal shim, and rubber gasket. Note the position of the cover while you remove it and set them aside.
