TOPPING UP
Read page 48 (BRAKES).
CAUTION
Be careful, brake fluid may spill out. Do
not operate the rear brake lever if the
brake fluid reservoir plug has been
loosened or removed.
WARNING
Avoid prolonged exposure of brake
fluid to air.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and will
absorb moisture from the air.
Keep the brake fluid reservoir open
JUST LONG ENOUGH to top up level.
u Unscrew and remove the plug (2).
CAUTION
Make sure the fluid in the reservoir is
level with the reservoir rim (horizontal)
to avoid spilling fluid when topping up.
Do not add any additives or other
products to the fluid.
If you use a funnel or other tools, make
sure that they are perfectly clean.
u Remove the gasket (3).
u Top up reservoir (1) with recommended
brake fluid, see page 106 (LUBRICANT
CHART), until reaching correct level that
is in-between the marks “MIN” and
“MAX”.
CAUTION
Top up to "MAX" level only after
changing the brake pads. If topped up
to "MAX" level with worn pads, brake
fluid will spill out when you change the
pads at a later time.
Check the brake for proper operation.
If brake lever travel is too long or in the
event of loss of braking, contact a Moto
Guzzi Authorized Dealer, as the system
may need bleeding.
CLUTCH FLUID -
recommendations
NOTE This vehicle is fitted with a
hydraulically-controlled clutch.
CAUTION
Any sudden changes in play or
hardness in the clutch lever are warning
signs of problems in the hydraulic
circuit.
Please contact a Moto Guzzi
Authorized Dealer if you have any
doubts on the operation of the system
and in case you are not able to carry out
the normal checks.
