BRAKES
WARNING
Do not ride your vehicle with worn or
malfunctioning brakes! The brakes are
the most important safety system of
your vehicle, and using the bike with
brakes that are anything less than
perfect is very likely to lead to a
collision or accident, with consequent
risk of serious injury or death.
Check brake pad wear, as shown on
p. 84 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS
FOR WEAR). Have your brakes serviced
by your Local Moto Guzzi Dealer.
Wet conditions seriously impair the
performance of your brakes. When the
road is wet from rain, you should plan
to use double the normal stopping
distances since both the brakes
themselves and the traction of the tires
on the road are reduced by the
presence of water.
Water on the brakes from washing your
vehicle, or splashed up from wet roads,
or crossing puddles or ditches, can wet
the brakes enough to greatly reduce
their effectiveness. Failure to heed
these warnings may lead to a serious
accident with consequent risk of
serious injury or even death.
NOTE This vehicle is equipped with
front and rear disk brakes operated by
independent hydraulic circuits.
The following information applies to both
braking systems.
WARNING
The brakes are extremely important for
your safety. Do not use the vehicle if the
brakes do not work perfectly. Always
check brake efficiency before riding.
WARNING
Sudden changes in brake lever play or a
spongy feel of the lever may indicate
problems with the hydraulic system.
Please contact a Moto Guzzi
Authorized Dealer in case you have any
doubts on the operation of the braking
system and in case you are not able to
carry out the normal checks.
