poor braking performance and
may result in an accident.
Before riding, "pump" the brake
lever repeatedly until the brake
pads are pressed against the
brake disks and proper lever
stroke and firm feel are restored.
Also check that the wheel rotates
freely.

if the wheel is installed incorrectly.
Install the front wheel so that the
tire rotates in the specified direc-
tion, as indicated by the arrow on
the sidewall of the tire.
