Inspection
and
Adiu1tment1
The
methods of inspection
and
adjustment are discussed below. This infor-
mation
will
be
of value
in
your daily inspections.
Front
Brake
Cable
Maintenance:
This cable
needs
periodic lubrication.
To
release
one
end
of the cable for
lubrication, follow the
same
procedures as listed in the CLUTCH
CABLE
MAINTENANCE section.
Removal
of the front brake cable requires that you must first disconnect the
cable
at the lever, as was just explained. To disconnect
it
at the front
hub,
you
have
to
screw the cable adjuster in so that there is plenty of cable slack
right at the brake. Line
up
the slots in the adjuster, lock nut,
and
hub
housing,
and
slip the cable out of the adjuster
and
out through the slots.
Front
Brake
Adjustment:
As with the clutch, there
are
also two adjustments to check.
These two adjustments
are
located at the brake lever
and
at the front
hub.
In this situation though,
only
one
brake adjustment is necessary, using either
of these two places to
make
the adjustment. Preferably,
it
is
much
easier
to
make
it
at the brake lever. This is
done
by
loosening the lock
nut,
and
screwing the adjuster in or out until
you
have
3/16"
free play.
