REAR BRAKE
Adjust the rear brake by adjusting the
brake pedal first and then adjust the
brake lever.
Brake Pedal

WARNING
Misadjusting the rear brake pedal
and lever can be hazardous.
The rear brake lever and brake
pedal operate the rear brake in a
complementary manner. When
one of these is misadjusted, the
brake system as a whole will not
operate properly. Misadjusting the
rear brake lever and brake pedal
can cause brake dragging or inad-
equate braking performance.
Adjust both the brake pedal and
brake lever within the specified
range.
