BRAKES
Front Brake
Brakes are items of personal safety and
should always be maintained in proper
adjustment.
The distance the front brake lever or rear
brake pedal moves before the brake starts
to engage is called freeplay.
Measured at the tip of the front brake lever
(1), freeplay should be maintained at:
10 – 20 mm (0.4 – 0.8 in)
Adjust the freeplay of the brake lever with
the front wheel pointed straight ahead.
Adjustment:
1. Adjust by turning the front brake
adjusting nut (2) a half-turn at a time.
Make sure the cut-out on the adjusting
nut is seated on the brake arm pin (3).
Check the adjustment.
