BRAKES

Disc and disc pad wear is automatically compensated for and has
no effect on the brake lever or pedal action. So there are no parts
that require adjustment on the brakes except brake lever play and
brake pedal position
Front brake lever play
Adjust the front brake lever (A) to suit you. To adjust the brake lever
play, loosen the locknut (B) and turn the adjuster to either side. After
adjustment, tighten the locknut securely. Then check the brake for
good braking power and no brake drag.
If the handlebar
clamp is correctly
installed, there will
be an even gap at
the front and rear
after tightening.
