7.3.2 Disc brake (front)
Check-up of brake fluid
•
You have to turn the steering thus the brake fluid is level in the reservoir.
•
The brake fluid level must not drop below the “MIN” marking
•
If the bake fluid is significantly lower than the specified level, check the brake pads for wear. lf the
brake pads are ok, also the braking system must be inspected.
•
If the brake pads are worn out, let them change through an authorized dealer.
Inspection glass
•
If brake fluid level is exceedingly low, it can be a sign for a defect of the
brake system. A leak in the brake system can lead to reduce the braking efficiency
and possible loss of retarding effort.
•
To ensure the operating safety of the brake system, all works have to be done by
one of our authorized dealer!
Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle or during riding in the rain, the retarding effort could be delayed due to wet or in
winter iced-up brake discs and brake pads.
•
The brakes must be braked dry!
Salt on the brakes
It is also possible that the retarding effort is delayed when you ride on roads covered with salt.
•
The salt on the brake discs and brake pads must be grinded off during braking!
•
Pay attention that brake discs and brake pads also must be free of oil and grease!
Dirty brakes
At trips on dirty roads, the retarding effort could be delayed as the brake discs and brake pads are dirty.
•
The brakes must be braked clean! Increased wear through dirty brakes!
