BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIRS:
The front and rear brake liquid reservoirs are dimensioned in a way
that topping-up is not necessary even if the brake pads are worn. In
fact, when the pads are worn, the fluid in the hoses tends to occupy the
space left by the small pistons, which have moved so that the pads
always lay on the disc. If the level of brake fluid falls below the minimum
value, it indicates that there is a leak in the braking system or brake
pad wear is beyond accepted limits.
BRAKE FLUID:
The braking system is filled by TM with top-quality DOT 4 brake fluid.
We recommend that top-ups and complete replacement are carried
out using the same type of fluid (DOT 4).
HAVE THE BRAKE FLUID REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. IF YOU WASH
THE MOTORCYCLE FREQUENTLY, IT SHOULD BE REPLACED MORE OFTEN.
THE BRAKE FLUID SOAKS WATER. IN OLD FLUID THEREFORE IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT STEAM BUBBLES FORM EVEN AT LOW TEMPERATURES AND THE
BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY.

The free play of the front brake lever can be varied using the adjustment
screw (1). In this way the position of the pressure point (the resistance
that can be perceived at the front brake lever when the pads are pressed
against the brake discs) can be adjusted for any hand size.
WARNING
THE FREE PLAY OF THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER MUST BE AT LEAST 3 MM. ONLY
THEN, THE LEVER MUST START TO MOVE THE PISTON IN THE FRONT BRAKE
PUMP (PERCEIVABLE FROM THE GREATER RESISTANCE OF THE LEVER). IF
THIS EMPTY STROKE IS MISSING, PRESSURE IS FORMED IN THE BRAKING
SYSTEM AND THE CONSEQUENCE CAN BE LACK OF FUNCTIONING OF THE
FRONT WHEEL BRAKE DUE TO OVERHEATING OR BLOCKING OF THE WHEEL
ITSELF.
