Rear brake and panier
Adjusting the rear wheel brake
The rear brake is a disc brake. To adjust the rear wheel brake pedal, bring the
pedal to the most comfortable driving position by turning the clamping nut (1).
Once the position has been adjusted, lock it using the lock nut (2). Please maintain
a clearance of between 10 and 20 mm (3).
Degrease the rear brake disc at regular intervals to guarantee optimal braking
quality at all times.
In the event of a brake fluid leak, contact your MASH dealer.
In the event of a braking problem, contact your MASH dealer.
Brake fluid type: DOT4
Regularly check the condition of the brake pads. The thickness of the filling must
be greater than 2 mm. If the latter is less than 2mm, the brake pads must be replaced.
Exhausts
It is advisable to stay away from exhaust pipes after a long journey to avoid any risk
of burns
Air filter
Air filter clogging due to dust accumulation can reduce engine power and increase
intake resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption. It is therefore important
to check its condition and clean it every 3000 km. To do this, observe the following
procedure:
1. Remove the left side fairing.
2. Unscrew the outer screws of the air filter cover (1) and remove the air filter
sleeve (2).
3. Remove the air box cover in which the air filter foam is located.
4. Separate the foam from the air box cover.
Caution
• If the side car is used in dusty areas, check and clean the air filter at intervals
closer to those prescribed in the maintenance table.
• When cleaning the filter, check that it is not damaged; if necessary replace it.
• Never start the engine without first replacing the air filter: this could increase
engine wear.
