Caution
Disc brakes are part of a high pressure system. For your safety, the hydraulic
oil replacement interval should not exceed the interval specified in the periodic
maintenance table in the manual.
Brakes
The front brake is equipped with a disc. Check the brakes after the first 1000 km,
then every 3000 km. Correct operation of the brakes is essential for driving safety.
Have the brake system periodically inspected by an authorized dealer.
Warning
The effectiveness of the braking conditions the safety of the user and must
be guaranteed at all times. Repair of the brake system or replacement of linings
should preferably be carried out by your dealer. The latter has a complete set of
tools and proven techniques to perform these operations in a manner that is both
economical and safe.
Front brake
If the motorcycle is equipped with a front disc brake, the brake lever play should be
between 5 and 10 mm (measured at the pressure cooker).
The hydraulic brake system should be checked daily, as follows:
1. Check the front wheel brake system for leaks.
2. Check the brake hose for leaks.
3. Check whether the front brake lever provides some resistance when operated.
4.Check the state of wear of the front wheel brake linings
Brake fluid
Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous. If accidentally swallowed, spit it out vigorously. In
case of contact with the skin or the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and
seek immediate medical attention.
Check the brake fluid level in the front brake master cylinder reservoir,
remembering to top it up if the level is too low. Apart from the wear of the linings,
the decrease in the level in the reservoir can also be explained by the existence
of leaks in the brake hose. Filling the tank is an important part of the periodic
maintenance of the vehicle.
Caution
The vehicle runs on hydraulic oil. Mixing with silicate or petroleum-based fluid
is prohibited, as this will seriously damage the braking system. Never use brake
fluid from an already opened container or from a surplus stored since the last
service: the fluid may have absorbed moisture. Only DOT4 brake fluid should be
used. Be careful not to splash hydraulic oil on the paint or plastic surfaces to avoid
any risk of corrosion.

Brake pads
Checking the pad linings is essentially limited to checking their state of wear
by comparing their thickness with the groove forming a mark. The pads should be
replaced if they are worn to the bottom of the groove.
Warning
Do not drive immediately after changing the pads. Depress the brake lever
several times to position the pads against the rotor.
Front brake light switch
The front brake light switch is located below the brake lever. Unscrew the screw,
then move the switch, if necessary in one direction and then in the other, until the
fire comes on at the slightest pressure on the brake.
Rear brake light switch
The rear brake light switch is located on the right side of the motorcycle. Raise
or lower the switch so that the light comes on at the slightest pressure on the brake
pedal.
