WARNING
The new plates must be ground, so that the brake provides optimal proportioning and best deceleration.
For that, make about thirty accelerations until approximately 30km/h, and slow down gradually until the
total stop.

6.14.1 Adjustment of the brake levers loose

The front brake lever loose must be bounded by 5 and 8 mm. The way to measure it is the same as for
this of the clutch lever. It has to be checked and adjusted before each use. Here is the process:
Loosen the lock nut of the brake lever.
To increase the loose, turn the screw clockwise. To reduce it, turn it anticlockwise.

As soon as the recommended loosed is reached, tighten the lock nut. In case you do not

manage to adjust it, ask your dealer to adjust it.

6.14.2 Adjustment of the rear brake pedal loose

The loose of the brake pedal must be bounded by 20 and 30 mm, as shown on the diagram. It must be
checked regularly and adjusted to the recommended value, if necessary.
Loosen the lock nut of the brake pedal.
Tighten the setting screw to increase the loose, and loosen it to reduce the loose.

As soon as the good loose is reached, tighten the lock nut of the brake pedal.

WARNING
Check the functioning of the front brake every time you adjust the lever loose.
If the lever gives a feeling of being spongy, it is probably due to air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit.
You need confide the bleeding of the brake circuit to your dealer, to avoid a loss of braking
efficiency.
If the needed loose can not be reached, confide this task to your dealer.
