Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Rear Master Cylinder Assembly
•Before assembly, clean all parts including the master
 cylinder with brake fluid or alcohol.
                           NOTICE
    Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc
    brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for
    cleaning brake parts. Do not use any other fluid for
    cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any
    other petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of
    the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be diffi-
    cult to wash off completely, and will eventually de-
    teriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.

• Apply  brake fluid to the new parts and to the inner wall of
  the cylinder.
• Take  care not to scratch the piston or the inner wall of the
  cylinder.
• Apply silicone grease to the followings.
