BRAKES
The front brake does not need adjustment and the only maintenance operation is
checking the liquid level in the brake pump reservoir. The brake liquid reservoirs have
a peephole «C» of transparent material. With peephole «C» complete, the level inside
the reservoir exceeds the Minimum; when the peephole is partially full, the level has
decreased to the Minimum; when it is completely empty, the level is inferior to the
Minimum. Worn brake pads may cause the decrease of the brake liquid level. Should
the level be below the minimum, the Customer is advised to contact an Authorised
Piaggio-Gilera Service Centre for a thorough check of the braking system. To adjust
the level follow the instructions below. For the front brake, unscrew the 2 screws«D»,
lift the cover of the brake liquid tank and introduce the needed liquid quantity, (liquid

must always be over the minimum level ). For the rear brake, unscrew the cap «E» of
the tank turning anticlockwise, then, introduce the needed liquid quantity (liquid must
always be over the minimum level ). Checking levels must be made with the tank in
horizontal position, without vehicle inclination.
