Brake System - Boss Hoss Cycles Year 2005 Owner's Manual

Trike Brake System
General
The trike brake system implements the same front brake system as bikes. The details of
this system are outlines in the Brake Section of this manual beginning on Page 31. The
Trike rear brake pedal and rear master cylinder are also the same as the bike (See Brake
section beginning on page 31).
Unlike the rear disc system on the bike, your trike utilizes a nine (9) inch drum brake
system, with a self adjusting brake system.
9" Rear Drum Brake Assembly Fig. 8-6
Automatic Brake Adjusters
The rear brakes on your trike are self-adjusting, designed to eliminate periodic manual
brake adjustments. Drum brake adjustment is made automatically as the rear brakes are
applied while the car is moving backwards. If excess brake pedal travel develops, drive
alternately backward and forward several times and apply the rear brakes firmly in each
direction. If normal brake pedal travel and performance is not restored, or if there is a
rapid increase in pedal travel, which could be sign of other brake trouble, contact your
Boss Hoss Dealer IMMEDIATELY.
Warning
Operating your vehicle with improper braking functions can result in serious injury
personal injury or death.
