Setup and Installation
Installation of the Puig Brake Fluid Reservoir Cover is generally straightforward, replacing the existing cap. However, it is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic to ensure proper fitment and to avoid any issues with the brake system.
- Ensure the motorcycle is stable and on a level surface.
- Carefully remove the screws securing the original brake fluid reservoir cap.
- Gently lift off the original cap, being careful not to spill any brake fluid.
- Place the Puig Brake Fluid Reservoir Cover (Model 9270P) onto the reservoir, aligning the screw holes.
- Secure the new cover with the appropriate screws. Do not overtighten.
- Verify that the cover is securely fastened and that there are no leaks.
Note: Always refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions regarding brake system components.
Operation
The Puig Brake Fluid Reservoir Cover functions as a protective and aesthetic cap for your motorcycle's brake fluid reservoir. It does not alter the operational characteristics of the brake system itself. Its primary role is to secure the brake fluid within the reservoir and to provide a visually appealing upgrade to your motorcycle's handlebars.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Puig Brake Fluid Reservoir Cover, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the cover regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anodized finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cover for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Ensure the screws remain tight.
- Fluid Contact: While the cover is designed to be resistant, prolonged contact with brake fluid can potentially affect the finish. Wipe off any spilled brake fluid immediately.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Puig Brake Fluid Reservoir Cover, consider the following:
- Loose Fit: If the cover feels loose, gently tighten the securing screws. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads or damage the cover.
- Fluid Leakage: If you observe brake fluid leaking from around the cover, immediately check the gasket (if applicable) and ensure the cover is properly seated and tightened. If the leak persists, consult a professional mechanic. This could indicate a more serious issue with the brake reservoir or system.
- Discoloration/Damage: If the anodized finish shows signs of discoloration or damage, it may be due to exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged sun exposure. While this is primarily cosmetic, severe damage might warrant replacement.
