the first 1000 km (625 mi) and successively
every 2000 km (1250 mi).
The wear of the brake pads depends on
the use, on the kind of drive and on the
road. The wear will be greater when the ve-
hicle is driven on dirty or wet roads.

WARNING
Check the wear of the brake pads espe-
cially before every trip.
To carry out a rapid checking of the wear of
the front pads, proceed as follows:
N
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
N
Remove the brake caliper cover (1).
N
Carry out a visual check between brake
disc and pads.
WARNING
The excessive wear of the friction mate-
rial would cause the contact of the pad
metal support with the disc, with conse-
quent metallic noise and production of
sparks from the caliper; braking effi-
ciency, safety and soundness of the
disc would thus be negatively affected.
N
If the thickness of the friction material
(even of one pad only) has reduced to
approximately 1.5 mm (
even only one of the wear indicators is
not visible any longer), have both pads
changed.
WARNING
Have the pads changed by your
Official Dealer.
