Checking the brake oil level (03_20)
The front and rear brake fluid reservoirs are both positioned on the handlebar. Proceed
as follows:
- Rest the vehicle on its centre stand with the handlebars perfectly horizontal;
- Check the fluid level through the sight glass «A».
A certain lowering of the level is caused by wear on the pads. Should the level appear
to be below the minimum mark, please contact a PIAGGIO Authorised Service Cen-
tre or Dealer in order to have the braking system thoroughly checked.
