Checking that the brake linings of the front brake are secured
Warning
Danger of accidents
Worn-out brake linings reduce the braking effect.
–
Ensure that worn-out brake linings are replaced immediately. (Your authorized GASGAS Motorcycles workshop
will be glad to help.)
Warning
Danger of accidents
Damaged brake discs reduce the braking effect.
If the brake linings are not changed in time, the brake lining carriers grind against the brake disc. As a conse-
quence, the braking effect is greatly reduced and the brake discs are destroyed.
–
Check the brake linings regularly.
