12 BRAKE SYSTEM

Warning
Danger of accidents Brake linings which have not been approved alter the braking efficiency.
Not all brake linings are tested and approved for GASGAS motorcycles. The structure and friction coefficient of the
brake linings, and thus their brake power, may vary greatly from that of original brake linings.
If brake linings are used that differ from the original equipment, compliance with the original homologation is
not guaranteed. In this case, the vehicle no longer corresponds to its condition at delivery and the manufacturer
warranty shall be void.
–
Only use brake linings approved and recommended by GASGAS Motorcycles.
Note
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–
Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance with the appli-
cable regulations.
Info
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for
DOT 5 brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint.
Only use clean brake fluid from a sealed container.

the brake disc.
–
Press the brake piston back into the basic position and ensure that
brake fluid does not flow out of the brake fluid reservoir, extracting
some if necessary.
