Rear Brake Pedal Adjustment
The rear brake pedal position
must be properly adjusted at all
times or the disk brake pads will
rub against the disk causing dam-
age to the pads and to the disk
surface. Adjust the brake pedal
position in the following manner:
1. Loosen the lock nut 1, and
rotate the push rod 2 to locate
the pedal 15 – 25 mm (0.6 –
1.0 in) below the top face of
the footrest.
2. Retighten the lock nut 1 to
secure the push rod 2 in the
proper position.
3. Check the boot for deformation
by torsion, and if deformed,
correct the boot form by rotat-
ing it back.

rise is felt when the brake pedal is
depressed.
