Rear Brake Pedal Free Play Brake Wear Inspection
Other Inspections & Lubrication
Rear Brake Pedal Free Play
1. Rest the bike securely on its side stand.
2. Check free play by slowly depressing the brake
pedal (1) until the brake starts to engage.
Free play should be between 3/8- to 13/16-inch
(10-20mm). If necessary, adjust to the specied
range. To do this, nd the adjusting nut at the
bottom of the rod connecting the rear brake
pedal and linkage to the master cylinder.
Turn the nut clockwise to reduce free play, or
counter-clockwise to increase free play.
Check that the front lever and rear pedal assem-
blies are positioned properly and that all fasteners
are tight.
Check the front brake hydraulic uid line for kinks
or signs of wear or abrasion that could cause
sticking or failure.
Front: Make sure the front brake lever, spring, and
fasteners are in good condition.
Rear: Make sure the rear brake pedal arm, spring,
and fasteners are in good condition.
The front and rear brakes should be checked for
wear after every 15-hours of riding. We recommend
that this inspection be performed by your dealer.
