This step-by-step MotoSport guide covers safe, effective brake fluid replacement and bleeding on a 2019 Can-Am Renegade 570. Follow factory service intervals and always consult your service manual for torque specs and exact fluid capacity. This guide is written for owners working with common tools; if you’re unsure, have a qualified tech perform the service.

What you need

  • DOT 4 brake fluid (flush with manufacturer recommendation)
  • Clear plastic hose that fits bleeder nipples
  • Catch bottle (marked for used brake fluid)
  • Open-end wrench for bleeder nipples (size per bike)
  • Syringe or vacuum/pressure bleeder (recommended)
  • Clean rags, isopropyl alcohol, brake-clean spray
  • Torque wrench for banjo/fastener torque to factory specs
  • Jack or ramps to access wheels (if needed)
  • Gloves & eye protection

Important safety notes

  • Brake fluid is corrosive to paint & rubber. Wipe spills immediately and rinse with water.
  • Never mix DOT 4 with DOT 5 (silicone). Always use the correct DOT rating.
  • Work on a cool machine; hot components can be hazardous and may affect fluid.
  • Dispose of used brake fluid responsibly at an approved facility.

Model-specific notes for the 2019 Can-Am Renegade 570

  • The Renegade 570 uses separate hydraulic circuits: handlebar master cylinder(s) for the front brakes and a foot-operated master for the rear. Each reservoir must be serviced independently.
  • There is no factory ABS on the standard Renegade 570; bleeding is straightforward hydraulic bleeding rather than ABS-module cycling.
  • Reservoir locations are compact — keep debris and moisture out when opening caps. The reservoirs use rubber diaphragms; inspect for cracks and replace if aged.
  • Banjo bolts and copper crush washers are used at calipers; inspect washers and replace if crushed or corroded.
  • If your bike has aftermarket handguards or racks, remove them if they restrict access to the master cylinder reservoirs or bleed nipples.

Step-by-step procedure

1. Preparation

  • Park on level ground and secure the ATV. Remove wheels if they improve access to calipers.
  • Clean reservoir caps and surrounding area with brake-clean to prevent contamination.
  • Top reservoirs with fresh DOT 4 until near full. Do not overfill.

2. Choose a bleeding method

  • Two-person pump method: one person cycles the brake lever/pedal while the other opens/closes bleeder.
  • Syringe/vacuum/pressure bleeder: single-operator, cleaner & faster for complete fluid replacement.

3. Bleeding order

  • Bleed each circuit separately. For front brakes (dual calipers) begin with the caliper farthest from the master cylinder and work toward the nearest.
  • For rear brakes, bleed the single rear caliper after fronts, or follow the service manual order if different.

4. Bleed routine (two-person pump method)

  1. Attach clear hose to bleeder nipple and submerge the other end in a bottle partly filled with old fluid to avoid air ingress.
  2. Have the helper pump the lever/pedal 3–5 times and hold pressure.
  3. While lever/pedal is held, open the bleeder nipple about 1/4 turn until fluid flows; close the nipple before the helper releases the lever/pedal.
  4. Repeat until clear fluid free of bubbles flows from the bleeder.
  5. Keep reservoir level topped up during the process to prevent drawing air into the master cylinder.
  6. Torque bleeder nipple to spec if required and wipe away spilled fluid.

5. Bleed routine (syringe/vacuum/pressure bleeder)

  • Connect tool per manufacturer instructions. Pump or draw until fresh DOT 4 runs clear and bubble-free from the bleeder outlet.
  • Keep reservoir topped and isolated to avoid contamination.

6. Complete system flush

  • Continue bleeding each caliper until new fluid completely replaces old fluid — check color and absence of bubbles.
  • Once finished, ensure bleeder nipples are closed securely and clean any residual fluid from fasteners and painted surfaces immediately.

7. Final checks

  • Top reservoirs to the proper level, reinstall rubber diaphragms and caps.
  • Operate brakes several times to confirm firm pedal/lever feel. If spongy, repeat bleeding until solid feel achieved.
  • Inspect for leaks at bleeders, banjo fittings, and calipers at low speed test runs before normal riding.

Maintenance tips & troubleshooting

  • If brake lever/pedal remains soft after thorough bleeding, inspect master cylinder seals and caliper pistons for contamination or wear.
  • Replace crush washers when any banjo fitting is disturbed to maintain sealing integrity.
  • If you encounter persistent air, consider bench-bleeding the master cylinder (remove master, use a syringe to push fluid through until air-free) or seek professional help.
  • Record the service date and mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time; change interval is typically every 1–2 years depending on use and environment.

Common parts you might need

  • DOT 4 brake fluid
  • Replacement bleeder caps, bleeder screws (if corroded)
  • Copper crush washers for banjo fittings
  • Replacement reservoir diaphragms or caps if deteriorated
