CHANGING BASE POSITION OF REAR BRAKE PEDAL (A)
Loosen the M6 counter-nut (1) downwards and rotate the adjustment
screw using the hex head (2). Once you have found the ideal position,
tighten the counter-nut.
The pedal play is given by the run of the pump piston. Make sure that
the pedal has about 1.5 cm of play before starting to brake.
WARNING
IF THERE IS NO PLAY THE BRAKE SYSTEM GENERATES PRESSURE THAT
CONSEQUENTLY BRAKES THE REAR WHEEL. THE BRAKE SYSTEM OVERHEATS
AND, IN EXTREME CASES, IT CAN FAIL COMPLETELY.
CHECKING REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The rear disc brake fluid container is incorporated in the rear brake
pump. When the motorcycle is upright the level must always exceed
the centreline of the indicator (1) located on the pump body.
IF THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DROPS BELOW THE MINIMUM VALUE IT MEANS
THERE IS A LEAK IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR THAT THE BRAKE PADS ARE
COMPLETELY WORN.
TOPPING UP REAR BRAKE FLUID (A)
Top-up as soon as the rear brake fluid level reaches the centreline of
the indicator located on the pump body. For this purpose, loosen the two
screws (1) and remove the cover (2). Top-up with DOT4 brake fluid up to
the end of the indicator. Reassemble the cover and tighten the screws.
Use water to wash away any brake fluid that has overflowed or was
spilled.
- STORE BRAKE FLUID OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
- BRAKE FLUID MAY IRRITATE SKIN. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES.
IF THE BRAKE FLUID SPLASHES IN THE EYES RINSE CAREFULLY WITH
WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.
WARNING
- KEEP THE BRAKE FLUID FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH PAINTED
PARTS. BRAKE FLUID CORRODES PAINT!
- ONLY USE CLEAN BRAKE FLUID COMING FROM HERMETICALLY-SEALED
CONTAINERS.
