FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
FRONT BRAKE CALLIPER INSTALLATION
Removal:
The following procedure is applied to both brake callipers.
WARNING
Before installing, clean all of the internal parts of the brake, and
lubricate them with clean or new brake fl uid.
- Never use solvents on the internal parts of the brake, as the
piston gaskets would tend to swell and warp.
- Every time the brake calliper is removed, replace the piston
gaskets.
Fit:
• The piston gaskets on the brake calliper “E” Fig.A (fi rst the
smallest oil seals - gaskets, then the sealing rings - larger
gaskets).
• the brake calliper pistons “B” Fig. A (2 Ø 34 mm and 2 Ø 30
mm)
Fit:
• Both callipers, tightening the fastening screws “A” on the
front fork Fig. B to the following torque:
T.R.
Torque 45 N*m
• Front brake hoses (18) Fig.C.
• Copper washers (5).
• Special screws (6).
NOTE
Tighten the special screws, restoring the torque twice, after
loosening them, to the following torque:
T.R.
Torque 26 N*m
WARNING
To guarantee the safety of the bike, it is essential for the path of
the brake hose to be correct.
Fill:
• The brake fl uid container.
WARNING
Only use the prescribed fl uid. The use of other types of brake
fl uid may cause damage to the rubber seals, leading to leaks
and to a drop in brake performance.
Top up with the same type of brake fl uid in the system. The bra-
ke fl uid must never be mixed with fl uids of other brands, since
this could cause a dangerous chemical reaction, with a drop in
brake performance as a result.
While topping up brake fl uid, take care not to let any water enter
the container. Water would considerably reduce the boiling point
of the fl uid and may lead to the formation of vapour bubbles.
