NOTE: Do not squeeze/depress
the brake lever/pedal when the
pads are not in their positions. It is
difficult to push the pistons back
and brake fluid leakage may
result.
Rear Brake Pedal Adjustment
The rear brake pedal position
must be properly adjusted at all
times or the disk brake pads will
rub against the disk causing dam-
age to the pads and to the disk
surface. Adjust the brake pedal
position in the following manner:
1. Loosen the lock nut 1, and
turn the push rod 2 to locate
the pedal 50 – 60 mm (2.0 –
2.4 in) below the top face of
the footrest.
2. Retighten the lock nut 1 to
secure the push rod 2 in the
proper position.
WARNING
Failure to extend brake pads
after repair or replacement can
cause poor braking perfor-
mance and may result in an
accident.
Before riding, “pump” the
brake lever/pedal repeatedly
until brake pads are pressed
against the brake disks and
proper lever/pedal stroke and
firm feel are restored.
WARNING
Replacing only one or the two
brake pads can result in
uneven braking action.
Replace both pads together.
CAUTION
An incorrectly adjusted brake
pedal may force brake pads to
rub against the disk at all
times, causing damage to the
pads and disk.
Follow the steps in this section
to adjust the brake pedal prop-
erly.
