Idle speed

03_38
Front and rear disc brake (03_38, 03_39)
The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect
on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to
adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence
of air in the braking circuit or an irregular brake operation. In this case, mainly due to
the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be
taken to an
Authorised Piaggio-Gilera Service Centre in order to be checked.
CAUTION
BRAKE PADS MUST BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED (EVERY 6,000 KM) FOR
SIGNS OF WEAR. IF THE THICKNESS OF ONE OR BOTH PADS IS IN THE RE-
GION OF 1.5 MM, BOTH PADS MUST BE CHANGED. THIS OPERATION MUST
BE CARRIED OUT AT AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO-GILERA SERVICE CENTRE.
