Front disc brake (03_31)
The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect
on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to
adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence
of air in the braking circuit or an irregular brake operation. In this case, particularly
considering the importance of the brakes in terms of safety, it is strongly recommended
that you take the vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible for
the appropriate checks.
WARNING
CHECK BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS (AS INDICATED IN
THE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE TABLES). IF THE THICKNESS OF ONE OR
BOTH PADS IS IN THE REGION OF 1.5 MM, BOTH PADS MUST BE CHANGED.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERATION AT AN AUTHORISED
SERVICE CENTRE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AFTER FITTING NEW BRAKE PADS DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU
HAVE ACTIVATED THE BRAKE LEVER REPEATEDLY TO POSITION THE PADS
AND RESTORE THE LEVER STROKE TO ITS CORRECT POSITION.
CAUTION
THE BRAKING ACTION SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE
LEVER STROKE.
