My hand brake to stiff

1 comments:

To fix a stiff hand brake on a Fairway Rider G3, follow these steps:

1. Check the Brake Fluid Level – Inspect the fluid reservoir on the handlebars and replenish with DOT 2 or DOT 3 brake fluid if necessary.
2. Bleed the Brake System – Slacken the bleed nipple on the brake caliper, operate the brake lever to expel air, then tighten the nipple while holding the lever. Repeat as needed.
3. Inspect the Brake Lever Mechanism – Ensure the lever and cut-out switch function properly and are not obstructed.
4. Lubricate Moving Parts – Apply suitable lubrication to the lever pivot and cable if applicable.
5. Check the Parking Brake Button – Ensure it releases properly when pulling the lever again.
6. Inspect the Brake Caliper and Pads – Remove the caliper assembly, check for obstructions, and ensure the pads are moving freely.

If the issue persists, further inspection of the hydraulic system may be needed.
