Disc Brakes - MOTO GUZZI BREVA V750IE Manual

DISC BRAKES

WARNING
The brakes are the parts that most
ensure your safety and for this reason
they must always be perfectly working;
check them before every trip.
A dirty disc will soil the pads, leading to
loss of braking efficiency.
Dirty pads must be replaced, while dirty
discs must be cleaned with a high-
quality degreaser.
Have brake fluid changed every two
years by a Moto Guzzi Authorised
Dealer.

NOTE
This vehicle is equipped with
front and rear disc brakes operated by
independent hydraulic circuits.
The front braking system is with single disc
(left side).
The rear braking system is the single disc
type (left side).
The following information refers to a single
braking system, but is valid for both.
When the disc pads wear out, the level of
the fluid decreases to automatically
compensate for their wear.
The front brake fluid reservoir is positioned
on the right handlebar, near the front brake
lever coupling.
The rear brake fluid reservoir is located
t h e
behind the footpeg bracket, on the right-
hand side of the motorcycle.
NOTE
Halve maintenance intervals if
you are riding in rainy or dusty conditions,
on rough road surfaces or when the vehicle
is used in competitions.
Have the brake discs checked by a Moto
Guzzi Authorised Dealer after the first
1000 km (625 mi) and then every 2000 km
(1243 mi).
Before leaving, check brake fluid level in
the reservoirs, see page 30 (FRONT
BRAKE), page 31 (REAR BRAKE), and
c h e c k b r a k e p a d s , s e e p a g e
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS FOR
WEAR).
Have the brake fluid changed every 20000
km (12427 mi) or every two years by a
Moto Guzzi Authorised Dealer.
WARNING
Do not use the vehicle if the braking
system leaks fluid.
