Crash caused by incorrectly set grip distance
If brake cylinders are set incorrectly or installed
wrongly, the braking power may be lost at any
time. This may cause a crash with injuries.

Ensure that the fully applied brake lever is at a
minimum distance of 20 mm from the
handlebars (4).
WARNING
! Brake failure due to incorrect setting
If the pressure point is set with brakes where the
brake linings and brake disc have reached their
wear limit, the brakes may fail and cause an
accident with injury.
 Before you set the pressure point, ensure that
the brake linings and brake disc have not
reached their wear limit.
