CHECKING BRAKE PADS WEAR
Check the thickness of the brake pads every 5000 km:
■ Wear limit 1.5 mm.
If the pads are below the wear limit they should be changed.
There is no need to bleed the brakes when the new pads have just been fitted; pumping the brake lever a few
times will return the caliper pistons to their normal position.
When changing the pads, also check the flexible hoses; if damaged they should be replaced immediately.
IMPORTANT
Use the brakes with moderation for the first 100 km after fitting new brake pads, to allow the pads to get
properly bedded in.

CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR (Fig. 20-03 / 20-04)
To ensure efficient operation of the brakes:
1 Make frequent checks of the fluid level in the front «A» and rear «B» reservoirs.
The level should always be above the minimum mark on the reservoirs.
2 Top up the brake fluid when necessary or at regular intervals.
Only use recommended brake fluid in sealed containers for topping up. Fluid containers should only be
unsealed immediately before they are about to be used.
3 The fluid in the brake reservoirs should be changed
completely after about every 15,000 km, or at least once a year.
To ensure efficient braking there should be no air bubbles in the brake circuit; if the brake lever has too much travel
or a spongy action, this means that there are bubbles in the brake circuit.
When flushing the brake circuits, only use fresh brake fluid.
WARNING
Never use alcohol for flushing or compressed air for drying; we recommend the use of «trichloroethylene»
for metal parts.
Never use mineral oils or greases for lubricating parts. If no suitable lubricant is available, we recommend
the light greasing of the rubber and metal parts with brake fluid.
Recommended fluid «Agip Brake Fluid DOT 4».
