Vespa GTS 300 HPE - Owner's Manual > Front and rear disc brake
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, especially considering the fundamental role brakes play in your driving safety, it is necessary to take the vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.
