Adjustment Of Front Brake Control Lever And Fluid Level Control (Smr 450-R); Rear Brake Pedal Position Adjustment - Husqvarna TE 250 Workshop Manual

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustment of front brake control lever and fluid level control (SMR 450-R)

The handlebar lever can be adjusted to the rider's hand size. Turn the adjuster
(1) ANTICLOCKWISE to reduce the distance between the lever and the grip or
turn the adjuster (1) CLOCKWISE to increase the distance between the lever and
the grip.
The level of the fluid in the pump tank must never be below the minimum level (2)
(check the level on the transparent reservoir).
Any decrease in the fluid level may let air into the system, thus increasing the lever
stroke.
: If the brake lever feels mushy when it is applied, there may be air in the
brake lines or the brake may be defective: CHECK THE BRAKING
SYSTEM (page L.6).
: If the lever free play is excessive, the brake action can decrease: CHECK
THE PADS THICKNESS (page L.5).
Do not spill brake fluid on to any painted surface or lenses (e.g. headlamp).
Do not mix two brands of fluid. Change the brake fluid in the brake line if
you wish to switch to another fluid brand.
Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case of
contact, flush thoroughly with water and call a doctor if your eyes were
exposed.
