This MotoSport proprietary guide walks you through safely flushing, replacing, and bleeding the hydraulic brakes on a 2022 Can-Am Renegade 570. Follow every step carefully, use the correct fluid, and keep the work area clean. This article also highlights model-specific notes every Renegade 570 owner should know.

Model-specific notes for the 2022 Can-Am Renegade 570

  • The Renegade 570 uses hydraulic disc brakes front and rear with a handlebar master cylinder for the front and a rear master cylinder near the foot brake. Confirm DOT rating in your owner's manual; Can-Am commonly specifies DOT 4, but always verify before adding fluid.
  • Caliper and master cylinder layout: dual front calipers, single rear caliper. The front master/reservoir is near the right handlebar; the rear master/reservoir is mounted near the brake pedal assembly.
  • There is no factory ABS on base Renegade 570 models, so bleeding is conventional. If your machine has aftermarket components or integrated electronic systems, consult MotoSport tech before proceeding.
  • Brake fluid is hygroscopic. On a 2022 unit, replace fluid if discolored, contaminated, or if it's been more than two years.

Tools & supplies

  • Correct brake fluid (DOT 4 unless your manual specifies otherwise)
  • Clear 3-4 mm vinyl hose and a catch bottle
  • Assistant to operate lever/pedal (or a vacuum/pressure bleeder)
  • Wrenches for bleed nipples (commonly 8 mm or 10 mm)
  • Bleed block or clean wooden shim to prevent pads from closing
  • Shop rags, gloves, eye protection
  • Brake cleaner and a torque wrench (for caliper/bleeder hardware if you remove components)

Safety precautions

  • Work on a level surface with the vehicle stable and the parking brake engaged (chock wheels if needed).
  • Avoid spilling brake fluid on painted surfacesfluid will damage paint. Rinse immediately with water and clean with appropriate cleaner.
  • Never mix different DOT-rated fluids unless allowed by the manufacturer. Don't reuse old fluid.

Preparation

  • Warm the brakes with a short ride to help fluid flow (do not overheat).
  • Park and secure the ATV. Remove wheel(s) if needed for better caliper access.
  • Clean around reservoirs and bleed nipples to prevent contamination entering the system.
  • Remove reservoir caps and diaphragms. Keep the caps loosely on the workbench to limit contamination.
  • Install a bleed block between brake pads to prevent pistons from over-traveling when the pedal/lever is depressed.

Bleeding order

General hydraulic principle: start bleeding at the caliper farthest from the master cylinder and finish with the closest. For the Renegade 570, a reliable sequence is:

  1. Right front
  2. Left front
  3. Rear

Adjust sequence if your reservoir/piping layout differs; always follow distance-from-master principle.

Bleeding procedure — manual (two-person)

  1. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with fresh DOT 4 fluid to the specified level. Keep the cap off but the reservoir covered to reduce contamination.
  2. Attach clear vinyl hose to the caliper bleed nipple and route into a catch bottle partially filled with fresh brake fluid to avoid drawing air into the line.
  3. Have your assistant slowly depress the brake lever/pedal to about 3/4 travel and hold it there.
  4. Open the bleed nipple a 1/4 turn. Fluid and air will flow into the hose. Close the nipple before the assistant releases the lever/pedal to avoid sucking air back in.
  5. Repeat pump-hold-open-close cycles until the fluid emerging is clear and free of bubbles, then tighten the nipple snugly.
  6. Top the reservoir frequently so it never runs low during the process.
  7. Repeat steps for next caliper following the bleed order. Finish with the caliper nearest the master cylinder.

Bleeding procedure — using a vacuum or pressure bleeder

  • Connect your pressure bleeder to the reservoir or attach a vacuum hose to each bleed nipple as per tool instructions.
  • Operate the tool until clear, bubble-free fluid flows and the brake lever/pedal has firm resistance.
  • If using pressure on the reservoir, cycle each bleed nipple open until fluid runs clear, closing each before moving to the next.

Verification & finishing steps

  • Ensure all bleed nipples are tightened to their specified snugness. If you removed calipers or fittings, torque fasteners to OEM specs from your manual.
  • Top off reservoirs to the proper level, reinstall diaphragms and caps.
  • Remove the bleed block and verify lever and pedal feel — they should be firm, with minimal travel. Soft spongy feel means residual air remains; repeat bleeding.
  • Check for leaks at all connections under pressure and after a short test ride at low speed.
  • Properly dispose of old brake fluid according to local regulations.

Troubleshooting

  • Persistent spongy lever after bleeding: re-bleed, check master cylinder for internal leaks, inspect flexible hoses for deterioration.
  • Continuous loss of fluid or drop in lever: find and repair leaks in lines, fittings, calipers, or master cylinder before riding.
  • If calipers bind after bleeding: check piston movement, clean slides/pistons and lubricate per Can-Am guidance, or rebuild caliper seals if needed.

Break-in and post-service checks

  • After replacing fluid and successful bleed, perform low-speed brake checks in a safe area to bed the system and confirm stopping performance.
  • Recheck reservoir level and fasteners after the first short ride. Inspect for leaks again after a few rides.
  • Document the service date and mileage for future maintenance intervals.

When in doubt, consult MotoSport service techs or refer to your Can-Am service manual for torque specs and OEM procedures tailored to the 2022 Renegade 570. Proper bleeding and fresh fluid restore safe brake performance and protect the hydraulic components from moisture-related damage.
