This proprietary MotoSport guide walks you through safely replacing and bleeding the brake fluid on your 2022 Suzuki King Quad 750AXi 4X4 POWER STEERING. Follow each step carefully. If you are unsure at any point, stop and consult a qualified technician or the official service manual.

What you need

  • DOT 4 brake fluid (new, unopened container)
  • Clear 3/16" or 1/4" vinyl tubing long enough to reach a catch bottle
  • Clean catch bottle with a small amount of fresh fluid inside to prevent air drawback
  • Wrenches/sockets to open bleeder screws (typically 8mm or 10mm) and to remove wheels if desired
  • Shop rags and gloves
  • Brake-clean spray
  • Small syringe or fluid transfer pump (optional) for topping reservoir
  • Assistant (recommended) or a vacuum/pressure bleeder
  • Torque wrench (for reassembly where applicable)

Safety first

  • Work on a flat, stable surface. Chock wheels and/or secure the ATV on a stable lift or stands.
  • Avoid contact with brake fluid – it damages paint and plastic. Wipe spills immediately and rinse with water.
  • Wear safety glasses and gloves.
  • Do not let the reservoir run dry during bleeding — that draws air into the system and will require repeating the procedure.

Model-specific notes for the 2022 King Quad 750AXi 4X4 POWER STEERING

  • The King Quad uses DOT 4 fluid from the factory; do not substitute with DOT 3 or DOT 5 silicone fluid. Mixing different types can damage seals.
  • There are separate front and rear brake circuits. Identify the front (handlebar/master cylinder) and rear (pedal/master cylinder or rear reservoir) reservoirs before starting.
  • Power steering on this model is a separate hydraulic system — do not confuse power-steering fluid lines or reservoirs with brake components.
  • ABS is not standard on this model year for most trims; if your unit has any electronic brake components, consult the dealer manual before bleeding.
  • Take care with the front fender/plastic around the handlebar reservoir – quick-release clips & mounting hardware can be brittle after years of use.

Preparation

  1. Park the ATV, engage park/parking brake, and remove the key.
  2. Locate both brake fluid reservoirs (front handlebar reservoir and rear master cylinder reservoir). Clean the caps and surrounding area to prevent contamination.
  3. If you remove wheels or calipers for access, note pad orientation & hardware; keep fasteners organized.
  4. Open the new DOT 4 fluid, keep the container closed except when adding fluid to avoid moisture absorption.

Drain & replace fluid (two commonly used methods)

Method A — Manual pump-and-hold (no special tools)

  1. Start with the reservoir for the circuit you will bleed first. Begin with the caliper farthest from its master cylinder – rule of thumb: furthest wheel first. If unsure, pick the caliper furthest from the handlebar or rear master cylinder you're working on.
  2. Remove the reservoir cap and membrane. Siphon or remove as much old fluid from the reservoir as possible and refill with fresh DOT 4 to the recommended level.
  3. Attach clear tubing onto the caliper bleeder screw and place the other end into the catch bottle containing a little fresh fluid.
  4. Have an assistant slowly pump the brake lever or pedal several times and then hold firm pressure.
  5. While pressure is held, open the bleeder screw about 1/4 turn to let fluid and air escape into the tubing. Close the screw before the assistant releases the lever/pedal.
  6. Repeat pump-hold-open-close cycles until fluid runs clear without bubbles at the tubing and the master cylinder level remains stable.
  7. Top up the reservoir frequently to prevent it from running dry.
  8. Move to the next caliper in order from furthest to nearest to the master cylinder and repeat.
  9. When finished, tighten bleeder screws to the specified snugness (check your service manual for torque values), clean any drips, replace membrane & cap, and test lever/pedal feel.

Method B — Vacuum or pressure bleeder (recommended for one-person jobs)

  1. Attach the pressure bleeder to the reservoir or the vacuum pump to each bleeder fitting per the tool instructions.
  2. If using a pressure bleeder on the reservoir, pressurize the reservoir lightly, then open the caliper bleeders in the same furthest-to-nearest order until clear fluid flows.
  3. If using a vacuum pump, attach tubing to each bleeder and vacuum until air-free fluid appears, topping up the reservoir as necessary.
  4. Always finish by tightening bleeder screws and verifying reservoir level.

Bleeding order guidance

  • Always start with the caliper furthest from the corresponding master cylinder and finish with the closest one.
  • Typical sequence: if bleeding the front circuit that's handlebar actuated, bleed the furthest front caliper first, then the closer front caliper. For the rear circuit, bleed the rear caliper(s) from furthest to nearest.
  • If both front and rear circuits share the same master cylinder, determine which caliper is furthest overall and proceed accordingly. If unsure, follow the "furthest first" rule for each circuit separately.

Finishing steps

  • Wipe all brake components clean. Remove tubing and ensure bleeder screws are snug.
  • Top reservoir to the correct level, reinstall membrane and cap.
  • Reinstall any wheels or components you removed and torque fasteners per the service manual.
  • Slowly apply the brakes with the engine off, ensuring a firm pedal/lever feel. If it feels spongy, re-bleed.
  • Perform a low-speed test ride in a safe area to confirm braking performance before normal riding.
  • Dispose of old brake fluid responsibly per local regulations — do not pour down drains.

Troubleshooting & tips

  • Persistent spongy feel: likely air still in the system or a leaking bleeder/line. Re-check bleed screws, hoses, and master cylinder seals.
  • Leaking bleeder screw or thread damage: replace the bleeder screw; do not overtighten.
  • If you suspect internal master cylinder contamination or failure, replacement or professional rebuild is recommended.
  • Keep new fluid tightly sealed until use – DOT 4 absorbs moisture and degrades quickly once opened.

When to seek professional service

  • If you find damaged hoses, corroded calipers, or poor brake performance after proper bleeding.
  • If the brake pedal or lever bottoms out or does not build pressure despite multiple bleeding attempts.
  • When you are uncomfortable performing any step safely — a professional Suzuki technician has the tools and model-specific torque/sequence data.

Follow this proprietary MotoSport procedure and your King Quad 750AXi will have fresh, reliable brake fluid and predictable braking performance. Keep records of fluid change intervals & monitor brake feel regularly for safe riding.
