MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
BRAKES
Brake disc wear is automatically compensated mechanically and
has no effect on the front brake lever or on the rear brake pedal.
The only adjustments that need to be made are: Position and play
both on the front brake lever and the rear brake pedal.
Position and play of the front brake lever
- Adjust the position of the front brake lever according to the size of
your hand. Note that the front brake lever should have a play of at
least 3 mm when in rest position. Adjust the position and play of
the brake lever using the bolt
A
.
If the front brake has a spongy feeling then it is possible that
there is air in the hydraulic circuit. We recommend that you visit
a GAS GAS workshop immediately.
- Ensure that front brake lever adjustment is correctly suited to
your hand.
Position and play of the rear brake pedal
The rear brake pedal should have a play of between 1 to 3 mm when
in rest position.
- Loosen the bolt
A
and adjust the play using the pin
B
.
- Tighten the nut
A
once again.
- Ensure that the rear brake pedal adjustment is correct; if necessary
repeat the adjustment until it is correct.
- Ensure that the pedal operates correctly and that it does not rub
on any element of the motorcycle.

DANGER
Never reduce the play of the front brake lever to less than
3 mm. If the play is reduced then the brake cylinder acts on the
front brake pads which then remain in permanent contact with
the brake disc; this could result in brake failure due to
overheating.
