Brakes; Position And Play Of The Front Brake Lever; Position And Play Of The Rear Brake Pedal - GAS GAS PAMPERA 125 - 2007 Manual

BRAKES

Brake disc wear is automatically compensated mechanically and
has no effect on the front brake lever or on the rear brake pedal.
The only adjustments that need to be made are: Position and play
both on the front brake lever and the rear brake pedal.

Position and play of the front brake lever

- Adjust the position of the front brake lever according to the size of
your hand. Note that the front brake lever should have a play of at
least 3 mm when in rest position. Adjust the position and play of
the brake lever using the bolt A.

DANGER
Never reduce the play of the front brake lever to less than
3 mm. If the play is reduced then the brake cylinder acts on the
front brake pads which then remain in permanent contact with
the brake disc; this could result in brake failure due to
overheating.
