In this case, consult an authorized AJP
dealer immediately.
Brake fluid
AJP fills the brake systems with DOT 4
brake fluid.
Recommended brake fluid:
AGIP Brake Fluid DOT4
Checking the brake fluid level – front
brake
Brake fluid reservoir is linked with the
hand brake cylinder at the handlebar
and the reservoir is provided with an
inspection glass (1). With the reservoir
in horizontal position, the brake fluid
level should not drop below the middle
of the glass.
! WARNING !
If brake fluid level drops below
minimum either brake system has a
leak or the brake pads are
completely worn. In this case,
consult an authorized AJP dealer
immediately.
Refilling front brake fluid reservoir
(*)
Loosen screws (1), remove lid (2) and
membrane (3). Place hand brake
cylinder in a horizontal position and fill
the brake fluid reservoir up to the MAX
mark with clean brake fluid DOT 4.
Replace membrane, lid and tighten
screws if damaged. Clear off spilled or
overflowing brake fluid with water.
! WARNING !
Store brake fluid out of reach of
children.
Brake fluid can cause skin irritation.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If
you get brake fluid in your eyes,
clear with plenty of water and
consult a doctor.
! CAUTION !
Don’t let brake fluid get in contact
with paint; it is an effective paint
remover.
Use only clean brake fluid from a
sealed or hermetic closed
container.
Checking front brake pads
The front brake pads can be inspected
from below. The linings must have at
least 1 mm thickness.
! WARNING !
Change brake fluid at least once
each two years. If you wash your
motorcycle often, brake fluid should
be changed even more often (once
a year), as brake fluid tends to
absorb water. Therefore, vapour
pockets may form on “old” brake
fluids even at low temperatures,
causing brake system to fail.
