move the latter and its gasket, taking care to
place them on a clean surface.
Top up with suitable brake fluid, see page 130
(LUBRICANTS), taking care not to exceed the
“MAX” level positioned inside the fluid tank.
When pads or disks are worn, never top up
to the “MAX” level because if these parts are
subsequently replaced, the fluid could flow
out of its tank.
If, on the contrary, these parts have been re-
placed, it is advisable to top up to the “MAX”
level.
Replace the gasket and replace the cover; insert
and tighten the two screws and wipe the sur-
faces clean with a cloth if there has been any
spillage.
Check braking efficiency and check the brak-
ing system for leaks; in the event of malfunc-
tion, consult a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer.
REAR BRAKE
The brake fluid tank for the rear disk brake is lo-
cated on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
It is a good thing to check the fluid level in the
tank periodically, and especially before setting
off on long journeys.
As the brake pads and the disk become worn,
the brake fluid level tends to drop and it is there-
fore necessary to top it up. Use suitable brake
fluid, see page 130(LUBRICANTS).
For the check:
-
keep the vehicle upright so that the fluid
contained in the tank is parallel with the cap
(1).
-
ensure that the fluid is above the “MIN”
mark.
MIN = minimum level
MAX = maximum level
If the fluid is below the “MIN” mark, check the
pads and disk for wear and, if in good condition,
proceed with topping up.
Do not top up the fluid to the “MAX” level if the
pads are worn, because if they are subsequently
replaced the brake fluid would overflow.
TOPPING UP THE REAR BRAKE
Keep the brake fluid in the tank parallel to the
tank rim (in a horizontal position) to prevent
spillage during topping up.
Do not add additives or other substances to the
brake fluid. If a funnel or such is used, make sure
that it is perfectly clean.
- Loosen the screws and remove the cap (1).
- Remove the gasket.
-
Top up with brake fluid, see page 130 (LUBRI-
CANTS) until the level is between the two marks.
-
Replace the gasket and screw the cap back
on the tank.
Check braking efficiency and check the brak-
ing system for leaks; in the event of malfunc-
tion, consult a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer.
CHECK PAD WEAR
Once every 2000 km it is advisable to check the
pads for wear; when using the vehicle off road,
with mud or sand, check after every use.
The pads have a groove that must always be vis-
ible.
Disk brake pad wear depends on use as well
as style of driving and road.
For a quick check of pad wear:
- Position the vehicle on the stand.
-
Both the front and the rear brake calipers are
fitted with two brake pads.
Make a visual inspection between disk and pads,
looking:
-
upwards toward the “caliper pivot pin” for
the front brake calipers;
-
downwards at the rear for the rear brake cali-
per.
Wear that goes beyond the limit of the friction
material leads to contact of the pad metal shoe
with the disk with consequent metallic noise and
sparks flying from the caliper; braking efficiency,
safety and completeness of the disk would thus
be affected.
If the groove has disappeared (friction material
depth 1.5 mm), replace the pair of pads.
