Insert the front brake master cylinder unit (1) on the right side of the handlebar to bring the terminal internal edge in correspondence to the bolted joints (a).
Fit the terminal (12) on the handlebar inserting the screws (15).
Tighten the terminal (12) retaining screws to a torque of 10 nm +/- 10% (sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) following the sequence 1-2-1 starting from the upper screw.
Locate the pipe with sealing washers (4) on the master cylinder assembly (1) and secure it with the special screw (3), without tightening it.
