Refilling the rear brake fluid
reservoir (*)
Unscrew the cap (1), diaphragm and
add brake fluid DOT 4 until it reaches
the MAX mark, then place diaphragm
and cap back on. Clear off spilled or
overflowing brake fluid with water.
Checking the rear brake pads (*)
The brake pads can be inspected from
the rear. The thickness of the linings
cannot be less than 1mm.
! WARNING !
At their most worn point brake pad
linings should not be thinner than
1mm, otherwise can lead to brake
failure.
! CAUTION !
- If free play is not present, then
pressure can build up in the brake
system when driving, causing rear
wheel to brake. Brake system can
overheat and may even completely
fail in extreme cases.
- Don’t ride with foot pressing rear
brake pedal.
! WARNING !
- Store brake fluid out of reach of
children.
- Brake fluid can cause skin
irritation. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. If you get brake fluid in
your eyes, clear with plenty of
water and consult a doctor.
! WARNING !
If brake pads are replaced too late
so that the lining is partly or entirely
worn, steel components of brake
pad will rub against brake disc,
thereby reducing braking effect and
destroying brake disc.
! CAUTION !
- Don’t place brake fluid in contact
with paint; it is a powerful paint
remover
- Use only clean break fluid or from
a sealed container
Replacing the rear brake pads (*)
Remove the rear wheel – see “REAR
WHEEL REMOVAL” and with a
screwdriver push the brake pads to
move the pistons into their basic
position. Remove clip (1) and then
remove brake pads from the calliper.
Clean the brake calliper thoroughly with
compressed air, insert brake pads and
secure them with the clip. Then place
rear wheel back on.
