CHANGING BASIC POSITION OF REAR BRAKE PEDAL
Loosen the lower lock nut M6 (1), turn the adjusting screw using the
hexagonal head (2). Once you have found the ideal position, tighten the
lock nut.
The pedal play is given by the pump piston stroke. Check that the pedal has
approximately 1.5 cm of play before braking starts.
WARNING
- If this play is missing, pressure builds in the braking system and braking
is applied on the rear wheel. The braking system overheats and, in
extreme cases, it can fail completely.
CHECKING REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The rear disc brake fluid reservoir is built into the rear brake pump. With
the motorcycle upright, the level must always be over the center line of the
indicator (1) on the pump body.
DANGER
- IF THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DROPS BELOW THE MINIMUM VALUE,
THIS MEANS THERE IS A LEAK IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR THAT THE
BRAKE PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN AWAY.
TOPPING UP REAR BRAKE FLUID
Top-up as soon as the rear brake fluid level reaches the center line of the
indicator on the pump body. To do so, unscrew the two screws (1) and
remove the cover (2). Top up with DOT4 brake fluid, to the end of the
indicator. Re-fit the cover and tighten the screws.
Use water to wash away any brake fluid that overflowed or was spilled.
DANGER
- STORE BRAKE FLUID OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
- BRAKE FLUID MAY IRRITATE SKIN. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND
EYES. IF BRAKE FLUID SPRAYS IN YOUR EYES, RINSE THOROUGHLY
WITH WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.
WARNING
- Prevent contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid
corrodes paint !
- Only use clean brake fluid from a hermetically sealed container.
