WARNING: Brake fluid can cause skin irritation. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. If you get brake fluid in your
eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor
CAUTION: Don’t let brake fluid get in contact with paint,
it is an effective paint remover.
Use only clean brake fluid taken from a tightly sealed
container.
CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS
The brake pads can be seen from the bottom (FS from the rear).
The lining thickness should not be less than 1 mm.
WARNING: At their most worn point brake pad linings
should not be thinner than 1 mm, otherwise they could
lead to brake failure. For your own safety don’t put off
having your brake pads changed.
CAUTION: If the brake pads are replaced too late so that
the lining is partly or entirely worn, the steel components
of the brake pad will rub against the brake disc, thereby
imparing the braking effect and destroying the brake
disc.
REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS (FC/FE) *
Press the brake caliper toward the brake disk, to put the brake
piston in its basic position. Remove clips (1) and pull out bolt (2).
Remove brake pads from the brake caliper. Clean the brake caliper
and the brake caliper support with compressed air. Check the slee-
ves of the guide bolts for damage, and grease guide bolts if neces-
sary.
Mount the right brake pad and fix it with the bolt. Mount the left
brake pad and insert the bolt until it stops. Mount the clips.
When mounting the brake pads, be sure to check for correct fit of
the sliding metal-sheet in the caliper support and of the leaf spring.
WARNING: It is very important to keep the brake disk
free from oil and fatty matters. Otherwise, the braking
effect would be strongly reduced.
After assembly, check if circlips have been fitted correc-
tly.
After working on the braking system, always actuate the
hand brake lever or foot brake lever, respectively to
ensure that the brake pads will lie against the brake disk
and the pressure point is established.
REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS (FS) *
Remove the screw (3). Use a screwdriver to carefully press against
the brake pads to move them into the basic position. Remove the
brake pads from the brake caliper and thoroughly clean the brake
caliper with compressed air. Mount the brake pads and the screw
(3) and tighten to 10 Nm + Loctite 243.
