Before the first use of your Brinco you should check the condition of both brakes.
First, carefully do some brake tests away from normal trac, on a flat and non-slippery
surface. Increase the brake power, little by little.
Brand new braking pads
require some running-
in to achieve the highest
levels of braking power.
To do this, accelerate the
vehicle 30-50 times up to
30 km/h, and brake to stop
it completely. The running-
in process ends when the
manual force required to
break no longer decreases.
On disc brakes, the
pressure point must be
stable immediately. If
the pressure point is not
reached after two thirds
of the brake lever’s travel,
press the lever several
times (the so-called
“pumping”) until the
pads touch the disc. If the
pressure point changes in
the output, you must go to
your Bultaco Motors Dealer
to purge the brake system.
Dirty brake pads and discs
can significantly reduce
the braking force. So do
not let oil or other liquid
penetrate the brake, for
example, during vehicle
cleaning or lubricating the
chain. You should never
clean dirty pads. They must
be replaced with new ones.
The discs, however, can
be cleaned with a special
brake detergent or with
hot water and a commonly
used detergent.

DIRTY BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE
BRAKING FORCE.
