CAUTION
Do not spill brake fluid onto any painted surface. Do not use fluid from a
container that has been left open or that has been unsealed for a long time.
Check for fluid leakage around the fittings. Check for brake hose damage.
WARNING
Do not mix different types of fluid. Change the brake fluid in the reservoirs
completely if the same type of brake fluid is not available.
Brake wear inspection
If the thickness of either pad, front and rear, is less than 1 mm, replace both
pads as a set. Pad replacement should be carried out only by an authorized
FANTIC MOTOR dealer.
STEERING
The steering should always be kept adjusted so that the handlebar will turn
freely but without free play.
To check the steering adjustment use a stand under the chassis, and lift the
motorcycle off the ground. Move the handlebar lightly to either side; if the
handlebar continues moving under its own momentum, the steering is not
too tight. Squatting in front of the motorcycle, grasp the lower end of the
front fork (at the axle), and push and pull the fork (as shown on the previous
photo); if free play is felt, the steering is too loose.
If the steering needs adjustment:
- Use a stand or a special support to stabilize the motorcycle.
- Raise the front wheel off the ground.
- Remove the handlebar (A) by loosening the handlebar holder screws and
removing the upper holders.
