CAUTION! Failure to keep this parts in peak condition
and to make repairs whenever necessary can lead to serious
personal accidents and serious damage to the motorcycle.
4.10 ADJUSTING BRAKES
This modes is provided with a front and a rear hydraulic
brake. When the brake pads wear, the oil brake level goes
down. Therefore, periodically check the brake oil level and
the wear of the brake pads
WARNING! When you add brake fluid, make sure that
the tank is in horizontal position before removing the cap to
avoid spilling the fluid.
WARNING! Incorrectly positioned brake lines can be
damaged by contact with moving parts, leading to serious
accidents. The braking system must also be run in before it
achieves maximum efficiency. Apply the brakes at least one
hundred times before considering them to be fully efficient.
Proceed with great caution throughout this period. At the
end of this period, adjust the brakes and also check that all
the fixing bolts are tight. Adjust the travel of the back brake
pedal to suit the stature of the rider. To do so, loosen the lock
nut and turn the adjuster on the master cylinder control rod
(photo n. 24).
CAUTION! Use only DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid from
clean new containers.
WARNING! Brake fluid is highly corrosive to paintwork
and can cause injury if it comes into contact with the eyes or
skin. Consult a doctor immediately in case of accident.
Change the brake fluid every two years.
DO NOT THROW SPENT BRAKE FLUID INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
Front and rear brake pads
Check the brake pads through the wheel to determine the
wear. If one of the pads should be worn up to a thickness of
1mm, replace both the pads.

General controls

Make sure there are no drippings. Check if hoses and joints
show wear or cracks.
4.10.1 ADJUSTING HYDRAULIC BRAKES
To adjust the lever position, manually act on the screw "A"
and adjust the distance "B" in relation to the rider's needs
(photo 23). After adjusting, make sure that the lever keeps a
3/4 mm play. The adjusting of the play can be done through
screw "C" (photo 23). The rear hydraulic brake, on the
contrary, must have a bigger play (photo 24).

upright and with no pressure on the suspensions. Measure
chain movement at the position shown in photo 26.
Chain movement must be 35-39 mm as shown in the
figure. If necessary, proceed as follows to adjust the chain
tension (photo 27).
- Loosen the nut (3) on the rear wheel spindle.
- Loosen the two lock nuts (1) and turn the two adjusters (2)
anti-clockwise to tighten or clockwise to slacken the chain.
Make sure that the edges of the spindle plates are
perpendicular to the swing arm and measure distance
A
"A" between the swing arm and the plates. Make sure
that distance "A" is the same on both sides.
- Tighten the rear spindle nut (3) (photo 28). See section 6.2
for the tightening torque.
