Piaggio MP3 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, mainly due to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be taken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.
