Check braking efficiency and check the brak-
ing system for leaks; in the event of malfunc-
tion, consult a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer.
REAR BRAKE CONTROL LEVER
The brake lever is ergonomically positioned dur-
ing assembly of the vehicle.
The height of the brake lever may be customised
if necessary.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION
- Remove the screw (2) and remove the pin
from the rear brake intermediate fork.
- Screw the check nut (1) as far as it will go
onto the pump control rod.
- Screw or unscrew the pump control rod until
the brake lever become at required height.
Check braking efficiency and that the wheel
turns freely upon releasing the brake.
If necessary go to a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer.
- Replace the pin and close the retaining
screw.

CHECK PAD WEAR
Once every 2000 km it is advisable to check the
pads for wear; when using the vehicle off road,
with mud or sand, check after every use.
The pads have a groove that must always be vis-
ible.
Disk brake pad wear depends on use as well
as style of driving and road.
For a quick check of pad wear:
- Position the vehicle on the stand.
- Both the front and the rear brake calipers are
fitted with two brake pads.
Make a visual inspection between disk and pads,
looking:
- upwards toward the "caliper pivot pin" for
the front brake calipers;
- downwards at the rear for the rear brake cali-
per.
Wear that goes beyond the limit of the friction
material leads to contact of the pad metal shoe
with the disk with consequent metallic noise and
sparks flying from the caliper; braking efficiency,
safety and completeness of the disk would thus
be affected.
If the groove has disappeared (friction material
depth 1.5 mm), replace the pair of pads.
