When reconnecting the brake line to the calliper or master cylinder, make sure to install the seals (2) on either side of the hose end union.
After having aimed the hose union (4), tighten screw (1) to the torque of 23 Nm ±10%.
After having aimed the hose unions (6) and (13) on the front brake callipers, tighten special screws (10) and (12) to the torque of 23 Nm ±10%.

Perform the same operation to fit the right brake calliper.
Hold the lever pulled towards the handgrip and simultaneously tighten the calliper screws (8) to a torque of 45 Nm ± 5%
Reposition brake line (B) in its seat (C).
