MAINTENANCE AND
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting the clutch lever
(fig. 14)
There should be no more or less than 3÷4 mm of free play at the lever; turn ring nut «A» to
obtain the desired play.
This adjustment can also be carried out on cable tightener «B» after having loosened lock
nut «C» fitted on the right hand side of the gear box.
Checking brake pads wear
Check the thickness of the brake pads every 3000 km:
Wear limit 1.5 mm.
If the pads are below the wear limit they should be changed.
There is no need to bleed the brakes when the new pads have just been fitted; pumping the
brake lever a few times will return the caliper pistons to their normal position.
When changing the pads, also check the flexible hoses; if damaged they should be replaced
immediately.
N.B. - Use the brakes with moderation for the first 100 km after fitting new
brake pads, to allow the pads to get properly bedded in.
Checking brake disks
The brake disks must be perfectly clean, with no oil, grease or other dirt on them. They
should also show no signs of scoring.
The torque wrench setting of the screws that fix the disk to the hubs is 3÷3.2 kgm.
