Front and rear disc brake. VESPA GT 125, GTS 125

Front and rear disc brake (03_35, 03_36)

The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly due to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be taken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.

CAUTION

03_35

BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.

CAUTION

03_36

HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE

CHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER,

IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAK-

ING SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKING

SYSTEM CHECKED BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE OR DEALER. AF-

TER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER UNTIL YOU

HAVE OPERATED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW

THE PLUNGERS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE

CORRECT POSITION.

CAUTION

THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THE

ROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE BRAKE PADS. IN OR-

DER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY

WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.
