Care and Adjustment of ROKON Brakes
General:
Rokon all wheel drive vehicles have individual front and rear disc brakes. They are cable operated
by hand levers on the handlebars. The left lever controls the rear brakes and, in the forward
direction, stops the rear wheel. The overrunning clutch in the driveline allows the front wheel to
continue rotating. The right lever operates the front brake and stops both wheels. The discs are
high mounted to keep them out of water and mud. Though small, they are powerful due to the
torque multiplication of the sprocket ratio.
Refer to the Rokon Parts Manual for help with part names and assembly sequence.
Maintenance:
The brakes operate with little or no maintenance, but work more smoothly and last longer if kept
clean and lubricated.
Be sure that all parts including the moveable pucks move freely and that the levers return fully.
Be sure that all fasteners are secure. Use self locking nuts, locktite or cotter pins on all fasteners.
Lubricate shaft and keys, push pins and cam, as needed, with a drop of motor oil.
