Checking The Shoe Wear - APRILIA SCARABEO 50 - 1997 Manual


The brakes are the parts that
most ensure your safety and for
this reason they must always be
perfectly working.
For any doubt regarding the perfect
functioning of the braking system and
in case you are not able to carry out the
usual checking operations, contact
your Official Dealer.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKE
Measure the distance covered by the le-
ver before the brake starts it braking ac-
tion. The idle stroke at the end of the
brake lever must be about 10 mm.
Adjust the clearance by acting on the ad-
juster (1).
Put on the brake repeatedly and make
sure that the wheel turns freely after the
brake has been released.
Check the braking efficiency.
If the adjuster (1) can be screwed up
completely, this means that the brake
shoes are worn out.
In this case, see p. 42 (CHECKING THE
SHOE WEAR ).
