2.6. BRAKES<br />
2.6.1. BRAKES<br />
IMPORTANT The brakes are the parts that most ensure your<br />
safety and for this reason they must always be perfectly<br />
working.<br />
This vehicle is provided with front and rear hydraulic disc<br />
brakes. When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid<br />
decreases to automatically compensate for their wear.<br />
The brake fluid tanks are positioned under the handlebar<br />
cover, near the brake lever couplings.<br />
Periodically check the brake fluid level in the tanks, see 2.1.2<br />
(PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART).<br />
CAUTION<br />
Check the braking efficiency. In case of excessive<br />
stroke of the brake lever, of excessive elasticity or in<br />
case there is air in the circuit, check the seals and<br />
the braking system components; then bleed the system.<br />
NOTE These operations apply to both brakes.<br />
CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL<br />
• Move instrument cluster gomma aside.<br />
• Keep the vehicle in vertical position and rotate the<br />
handlebar so that the fluid contained in the tank is parallel<br />
to the brake fluid tank cover.<br />
• Make sure that the fluid level exceeds the “MIN” notch<br />
on the glass (1).<br />
If the fluid does not reach the “MIN” notch:<br />
• Provide for topping up.<br />
TOPPING UP<br />
• Remove pump cover (2).<br />
• Unscrew the two screws (3) of the brake fluid tank (4).<br />
• Remove the cover (5).<br />
IMPORTANT In order not to spill the brake fluid while topping<br />
up, keep the fluid in the reservoir parallel to the reservoir<br />
rim (in horizontal position).<br />
• Remove the gasket (6).<br />
IMPORTANT In order to reach the "MAX" level, top up until<br />
covering the glass (1) completely, with the brake fluid reservoir<br />
rim parallel to the ground.<br />
