Checking the brake discs

Warning

Danger of accidents

Worn-out brake discs reduce the braking effect.

Make sure that worn-out brake discs are replaced immediately. (Your authorized GASGAS Motorcycles work-
shop will be glad to help.)

Check the front and rear brake disc thickness at multiple points for
the dimension

A

.

Info

Wear reduces the thickness of the brake disc around the
contact surface of the brake linings.

Brake discs - wear limits

front

2.2 mm (0.087 in)

rear

2.2 mm (0.087 in)

» If the brake disc thickness is less than the specified value:

Change the front brake disc.

Change the rear brake disc.

Check the front and rear brake discs for damage, cracking, and
deformation.
» If the brake disc exhibits damage, cracking, or deformation:

Change the front brake disc.

Change the rear brake disc.

14.5

Checking the front brake fluid level

Warning

Danger of accidents

An insufficient brake fluid level will cause the brake system to fail.

If the brake fluid level drops below the specified marking or the specified value, the brake system is leaking or the
brake linings are worn down.

Check the brake system and do not continue riding until the problem is eliminated. (Your authorized GAS-
GAS Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
