Warning
Danger of accidents
Brake linings which have not been approved alter the braking efficiency.
Not all brake linings are tested and approved for GASGAS motorcycles. The structure and friction coefficient of the
brake linings, and thus their brake power, may vary greatly from that of original brake linings.
If brake linings are used that differ from the original equipment, compliance with the original homologation is not
guaranteed. In this case, the vehicle no longer corresponds to its condition at delivery and the warranty shall be
void.
–
Only use brake linings approved and recommended by GASGAS Motorcycles.
Note
Environmental hazard
Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–
Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance with the appli-
cable regulations.
Info
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for
DOT 5 brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint.
Only use clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
