Hydraulic Brake Plunger Pin Adjustment
It is critical that the master cylinder pistons are adjusted properly when the steering
handle bar is at the centered 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. The piston being adjusted too far out on the other
hand, could affect the braking ability of the vehicle for both turning and stopping
efficiently. If this is a steering assembly with NEW spring pins installed, apply firm
pressure to handle bars in each steering direction to seat the roll pins before
proceeding with the following adjustments. Also, ensure the brake system has been
bled properly and purged of any air in the system.
