Adjusting the rear disc brake

1. Check:

• Brake pedal position (distance "a" from the center of the rider footrest to the center of the brake pedal) Out of specification Adjust.

2. Adjust:

• Brake pedal position

c. Turn the adjusting nut "5" in direction "a" or "b" until the specified brake pedal position is obtained.

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake pedal can indicate the presence of air in the brake system. Before the vehicle is operated, the air must be removed by bleeding the brake system. Air in the brake system will considerably reduce braking performance.

After adjusting the brake pedal position, make sure there is no brake drag.

e. Install the pin, washer, and cotter pin.

WARNING Always use a new cotter pin.
