- Remove the rubber cap from the bleed screw.
- Insert a rubber pipe in the bleed screw to permit the brake fluid to be recovered.
- With the brake lever, load the system and bring it up to the required pressure.
- Keeping the brake lever pulled, loosen the bleed screw to purge the air in the system. Then tighten the bleed screw
- Repeat the operation until only brake fluid comes out of the rubber pipe.
- Remove the fluid recovery pipe and refit the rubber cap over the bleed screw.
- Top up the brake fluid to the right level in the reservoir.
If necessary, bleeding can be done using a special vacuum pump
N.B.
DURING THE BLEEDING OPERATIONS, MAKE SURE THE BRAKE FLUID DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE BODYWORK SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE IT. FURTHERMORE, DURING THE BLEEDING OPERATIONS REGARDING THE BRAKE CALLIPERS, MAKE SURE THE BRAKE FLUID DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE DISC BRAKES AND WITH THE BRAKE PADS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION WILL ENDANGER THE PROPER WORKING AND EFFICIENCY OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM

Brake fluid level check
The front and rear brake fluid reservoirs are both positioned on the handlebar. Proceed as follows:
- Rest the vehicle onto the centre stand, with the handlebar centred.
- Check the fluid level through the sight glass "A".
A certain lowering of the level is caused by wear on the brake pads.

PIAGGIO Beverly 300ie - Service manual > Rear/Front brake pads
Front brake pads Removal Proceed as follows: Remove the front brake calliper. Loosen the two pins shown in the figure that lock the two pads. Remove the pads, being careful with the pad spring clamp. Check the thickness of the friction material of the pads. Replace the pads if the thickness is below the minimum value. The replacement must be made with greater residual thickness if the pad has not worn evenly. A 0.5 mm thickness difference in the residual friction material is permitted.
PIAGGIO Beverly 300ie - Service manual > Front/Rear brake pump
Front brake pump Removal Remove the rear handlebar cover. Drain the braking system. Disconnect the brake fluid line from the pump, paying attention to a possible escape of remaining brake fluid. Remove the brake stop button from the lever. Undo the two U-bolt fixing screws. Remove the brake pump with the lever.
