Continuous braking without interruption, especially if it is done with a single brake,
can reduce the braking power and even lead to the total failure of the brake in extreme
situations.
On long downhill sections you should get used to breaking with both brakes at the
same time, in a brief and strong manner. Avoid continued braking by releasing the brake
regularly after each time you break. Stop at the first sign of overheating, i.e. if it seems
that a higher manual force is required, or there is a smell or noise. Let the brakes cool
down before continuing to ride.
DO NOT TOUCH THE DISC OR THE
CALIPER IMMEDIATELY AFTER A
PROLONGED DOWNHILL RUN BECAUSE
THERE IS A RISK OF GETTING BURNT.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY GO TO A
BULTACO MOTORS S.A. DEALER IF YOU
DETECT ANY ABNORMALITY WITH THE
BRINCO BRAKES OR IF YOU NEED TO
PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE WORK.

4.4. Wheels and tyres
Proper tyre maintenance is very important. Before each use check that there are no cuts,
cracks, rips, lumps or bumps on the body of the tyre.
Check and adjust the tyre pressure with each use of the vehicle. Always do this when the
tyres are cold, which means that they have not been used in the hours prior to checking
them.
IF YOU NOTICE ANY ABNORMALITY IN ANY OF THE TYRES REPLACE IT
IMMEDIATELY.
INADEQUATE PRESSURE OR POOR TYRE CONDITION CAN CAUSE:
- Unexpected bursts.
- Loss of vehicle control.
- Reduction of efficiency in the case of too low pressure.
Respect the minimum depth of the profile and if it is less, change the tyre.
Make sure that the spoke tension is correct since that can cause unstable behavior.
Check that all spokes are tight.
In the event of any spoke is not tight enough, go to your
Bultaco Motors S.A.
Dealer.
