Problems related to brake component wear

After constant and prolonged use over time, the components of the Vespa Piaggio tend to wear out, making some checks necessary. This is especially true for the braking system: the numerous small mechanisms belonging to the brake can undergo a material degradation of which they are composed, making the braking phase of the Vespa difficult, inefficient, and therefore dangerous for vehicle safety on the road.

It should also be remembered that the Vespa, by nature, does not have vigorous braking: even Piaggio motorcycles just out of the factory brake slowly and gradually. For this reason, maintaining the braking system at its maximum efficiency is a fundamental condition for being able to drive the Vespa in total safety.

A safe way to check the condition of the brakes is to test them downhill,
