MIN
= minimum level
MAX
= maximum level
If the fluid is below the “MIN” mark, check the
pads and disk for wear and, if in good condition,
proceed with topping up.
Do not top up the fluid to the “MAX” level if the
pads are worn, because if they are subsequently
replaced the brake fluid would overflow.
TOPPING UP THE REAR BRAKE
Keep the brake fluid in the tank parallel to the
tank rim (in a horizontal position) to prevent
spillage during topping up.
Do not add additives or other substances to the
brake fluid. If a funnel or such is used, make sure
that it is perfectly clean.
- Loosen the screws and remove the cap (1).
- Remove the gasket.
- Top up with brake fluid, see page 105 (LU-
BRICANTS) until the level is between the two
marks.
- Replace the gasket and screw the cap back
on the tank.
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 AND PLAY
- Remove the screw (4) and remove the pin
from the rear brake intermediate fork.
- Screw the check nut (3) as far as it will go
onto the pump control rod.
- Fully screw down the pump control rod.
- Loosen the check nut (1).
- Tighten or loosen the brake adjusting screw
(2) until the pedal is at the required height.
- Lock the brake adjusting screw (2) using the
check nut (1).
- Loosen the pump control rod and restore
play between the brake adjusting screw and
slider.
Ensure that there is play between the brake
rod and pump to avoid the brake remaining
engaged and thereby causing early wear of
the braking elements.
Play between brake rod and pump: 0.5÷1 mm.
- Lock the pump control rod using the check
nut (3).
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 re-fasten the retaining
clip.
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 fit-
ted with two brake pads.
Make a visual inspection between disk and pads, look-
ing:
- upwards toward the “caliper pivot pin” for the
front brake calipers;
- downwards at the rear for the rear brake caliper.
