- Parts to remove before bleeding (throttle, caliper, pads)
- Bleeding with a syringe and cup, and adapter sizes
- Degreasing and inspection points after reassembly
The PXiD-F2 uses hydraulic brakes filled with mineral oil. After replacing the stock front or rear brake caliper, or if the brake feel seems off, you'll need to bleed the brakes.
This guide uses the front brake as an example. Follow the same steps for the rear brake.

First, remove the throttle.

Loosen the bolt shown in the image with a 3mm hex wrench.
-
Disconnect the coupler shown in the image.

Once it looks like the image, you're good.
02 Removing the caliper and pads

03 Bleeding the brakes
-
Remove the bleeder cap bolt on the caliper shown in the image. The tool size is T15 comes in handy.
-
M6×P1 is the adapter to install.

Attach the syringe.
-
Next, remove the bleeder cap bolt shown in the image. Again, the tool size is T15 comes in handy.

Attach the cup with the adapter and plug fitted, as shown in the image. The adapter size is M4×P0.7 comes in handy.
-
Pour an appropriate amount of oil into the cup. Always use the dedicated mineral oil.

Remove the plug from the cup.
-
Use the syringe to push the oil back and forth between the syringe and the cup several times to purge the air.
Always use the dedicated mineral oil for brake fluid.
04 Reassembly and inspection
- Once bleeding is complete, put the plug back in the cup.
- Remove the cup and adapter, and reinstall the bleeder cap bolt. Wipe up any spilled oil thoroughly.
- Remove the syringe and adapter from the caliper, and reinstall the bleeder cap bolt.
- Thoroughly degrease any oil on the caliper with brake cleaner or similar.
- Install the brake pads in the caliper, and mount the caliper on the bike.
- Check the brake feel, braking power, and for any oil leaks. If everything is normal, you're done.
Follow the same steps for the rear brake.
