Abstract
A method of filling a brake system for a motorcycle including a brake system having a master cylinder assembly and a caliper assembly. The master cylinder assembly includes a housing and a cover coupled to the housing to define an enclosed reservoir. The caliper assembly includes a fluid passageway and a fitting adjustable to selectively provide fluid communication with the fluid passageway. The motorcycle also includes a brake line coupled between the master cylinder assembly and the caliper assembly to fluidly connect the reservoir and the fluid passageway. The method also includes substantially evacuating the reservoir, brake line and fluid passageway, coupling a fluid source to the fitting, passing fluid from the fluid source through the fitting, and filling the reservoir, brake line, and fluid passageway with the fluid passed through the fitting from the fluid reservoir.
