If the pads and/or the disk do not need
replacing, top up fluid level.
TOPPING UP
Carefully read page 48 (BRAKES).
CAUTION
Brake fluid may spill out. Do not operate
the front brake lever if the screws (1)
have been loosened or, most important,
with the brake fluid reservoir plug
removed.
u
Unscrew the two screws (1) of the brake
fluid reservoir (2) using a cross-head
screwdriver.
WARNING
Avoid prolonged exposure of brake
fluid to air.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and will
absorb moisture from the air.
Keep the brake fluid reservoir open
JUST LONG ENOUGH to top up level.
u
Raise and remove the plug (3) together
with the screws (1).
u
Remove the gasket (4).
CAUTION
Do not rock the vehicle from side to
side when topping up, or brake fluid
may spill out.
Do not add any additives or other
products to the fluid.
If you use a funnel or other tools, make
sure that they are perfectly clean.
u
Top up reservoir (2) with recommended
brake fluid, see page 106 (LUBRICANT
CHART), until reaching correct level that
is in-between the marks "MIN" and
"MAX".
CAUTION
Do not exceed the "MAX" level mark.

changing the brake pads.
If topped up to "MAX" level with worn
pads, brake fluid will spill out when you
change the pads at a later time.
Check the brake for proper operation.
If brake lever travel is too long or in the
event of loss of braking, contact a Moto
Guzzi Authorized Dealer, as the system
may need bleeding.
REAR BRAKE
CHECK
NOTE
Perform these checks only on a
firm, flat surface such as a concrete garage
floor.
u
Keep the vehicle upright, so as to keep
the fluid in the reservoir (1) level with the
plug (2).
u
Make sure that the fluid level exceeds
the "MIN" mark.
MIN= minimum level
MAX= maximum level
If the fluid is below the "MIN" mark:
CAUTION
Brake fluid level decreases as the brake
pads wear down.
u
Check brake pad wear, see page 84
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS FOR
WEAR) and disk wear.
If the pads and/or the disk do not need
replacing, top up fluid level.
