REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENTS
The rear (left lever) brakes are mechanical brakes, activated by moving the
brake lever toward the handlebar. The foot brake is also a mechanical rear
brake.
Adjust the rear brakes when brake lever travel reaches 2 1/2" (65 mm)
q
.
Always adjust the brakes when there is no longer sufficient stopping ability at the
specified lever travel setting.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Block the front wheels.
3. Place the transmission in neutral.
4. Using suitable stands, elevate the rear of the vehicle so the rear wheels are
slightly off the ground.
5.
Slowly tighten the hand brake wing nut
w
while rotating the rear wheels with
your hand. When you begin to feel resistance (drag) in the wheel rotation,
loosen the wing nut one full turn.
6. Slowly tighten the foot brake wing nut
e
until the foot brake lever arm begins
to move. Loosen the wing nut 1/2 turn so it doesn't influence the hand brake
adjustment.
7. Test the hand brake and the foot brake for proper operation.
