the Magura BraKesysteM includes
the FolloWing parts:
> Master cylinder
> Compensating reservoir with individual parts
> Tubing kit with individual parts
> Brake caliper
> Fork end
> Brake disc
> Tighten up the reservoir on the holder. Tightening torque 3 Nm +/- 0.5 Nm
> Push 2nd hose clip over the hose and connecting piece of reservoir
eXchanging the Master cylinder/Mounting:
> Drain out old brake fluid (ensure proper ecological disposal)
> Remove brake hose on the mounted standard master cylinder
> Dismantle old master cylinder
> Mount new master cylinder; don’t tighten clamp yet
> Mounting of the tube to the new radial master cylinder. Tightening torque 15 Nm +/- 1Nm.
Do not load angled take-off piece in the turning direction; align tube so that no lateral
forces arise.
>
caUtion: Use only new copper sealing rings!
> Mount radial master cylinder inclined to the front according to the driver requirements.
It is important that the bleeding valve is at the highest point. Tightening torque for hex
socket screw: 6 Nm +/- 1 Nm
>
iMPortant: The position of the compensating reservoir should be horizontal with respect
to the handlebars if possible, since otherwise there is a danger that air could get into the
brake system when the motorcycle is tilted.
>
iMPortant: Always fill the compensating reservoir up to the bellows so that as little air as
possible remains in the reservoir.
Filling oF the BraKe systeM:
> Close the valve on the master cylinder. Tightening torque max. 1.5 Nm
> Open cap on compensating reservoir.
caUtion: Keep all parts clean!
> Fill brake system by pumping from top downwards.
caUtion: Be sure to use only DOT5.1!
> Close sealing plug on the brake caliper
> Operate lever and pump towards pads
> Push hose onto the valve on the master cylinder (ideally transparent) and lead excess brake
fluid into a suitable container
> With only a light force on the lever, carefully open the valve and when the lever is adjacent
to the handlebars, close it again.
caUtion: When the lever is released the valve must be
closed since otherwise air will be sucked into the system.
> If the pressure point is still soft, repeat the procedure until no more air comes out of
the valve.
> Set the position of the compensating reservoir so that the cover on the compensating
reservoir is in an almost horizontal position when the handlebars are set to straight ahead.
