Refilling front brake fluid reservoir
(*)
Loosen screws (1), remove lid (2) and
membrane (3). Place hand brake
cylinder in a horizontal position and fill
the brake fluid reservoir up to the MAX
mark with clean brake fluid DOT 4.
Replace membrane, lid and tighten
screws. Clear off spilled or overflowing
brake fluid with water.
! WARNING !
- Store brake fluid out of reach of
children.
- Brake fluid can cause skin
irritation. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. If you get brake fluid in
your eyes, clear 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 from a
sealed or hermetic closed
container.

from below (1). The linings must have
at least 1 mm thickness.

! WARNING !
At their most worn point brake pad
linings should not be thinner than
1mm, otherwise can lead to braking
failure.
! WARNING !
If brake pads are replaced too late
so that the lining is partly or entirely
worn, steel components of brake
pad will rub against brake disc,
thereby reducing braking effect and
destroying brake disc.
Replacing front brake pads (*)
Remove calliper assembly,
unscrewing screws (1). Press the
brake calliper away from brake disc
to put the brake piston in its basic
position. Remove clips and the
brake pads from the calliper.

Clean the brake calliper and calliper
support with compressed air. Check
the sleeves of the guide bolts for
damage and grease guide bolts if
necessary.
Mount both brake pads and then
insert the clips the right way, to
allow brake pads to jump off or lose,
in order to avoid accidents.
