Rear Shock
The rear shock is fully serviceable but it is recommended that only trained
professionals should service your shock. Contact Cobra or another qualified
specialist for questions and service of your CX65shock.
Brakes
Proper Brake adjustment must have a slight amount of freeplay from the
pedal/lever to the master cylinder piston. Without freeplay, it is difficult to ensure
that piston is not blocking the hydraulic return path which allows fluid to return to
the master cylinder upon release of the pedal/lever. If the system does not allow
sufficient return flow, the brake system will lock up during operation as the
master cylinder pumps fluid to the caliper that is unable to return to the master
cylinder as the lever is released.
Rear Brakes
Rear brake bleeding is a 5 step process.
1. Remove the reservoir cap on the master cylinder and top of with DOT 4 or
5.1 fluid. During all these steps, make sure you monitor the fluid level and
‘top off’ when necessary.
2. Adjust the brake plunger for free play. There must be at least some free
play between the adjustable plunger and the master cylinder piston. Push
the pedal up and down to feel for free play and adjust if necessary. It may
be helpful to remove the rubber boot. Improper adjustment will not allow
fluid from the caliper to return to the master cylinder up release of the
brake pedal.
3. Pressure bleed the system. Push down once on the brake pedal, solidly
and completely, and open and close the caliper bleed, before releasing
the pedal. Repeat this step at least 5 times looking for bubbles. Typically
