Front Forks - Cobra CX50 2014 5R King Owner's Manual

 Make sure the brake lever pressure is OK by pulling in on the lever and ensuring full
braking performance is achieved before the lever touches the handlebar. If this is
not the case, pump the lever several times until the lever feels firm.
 Always make sure the rotor and brake pads are free from oil and grease. Clean the
rotor with mild dish soap or alcohol. Contaminated pads must be replaced.
 Ensure that the brake caliper is centered over the brake rotor. It a correction is
needed, Cobra has thin brake shims to help make minor adjustments in alignment.
 Always leave adequate free-play in the lever or pedal.
CAUTION:
This brake system uses only DOT 4 or 5.1 brake fluid!
