Hydraulic Brake Plunger Pin Adjustment
It is critical that the master cylinder pistons are adjusted properly when the steering
levers are at the dash block position. Overheating of the brake system could occur
due to the piston being adjusted too far in. This could cause a drag on the system
and a possible brake lockup. On the other hand, the piston being adjusted too far
out could affect the braking ability of the vehicle by causing it to be less aggressive,
giving it poor turning capabilities. This adjustment will also set both handle bars at
an even distance from the dash block when both are applied.
IMPORTANT
A 1/4" clearance should be set between the steering levers and the dash block before
engagement of the plunger pins. This will provide some leeway if the handle bars are
pulled back slightly while driving without the intention of applying them (riding the
brakes).

steering levers and the dash block. Photo BR-30
