Rear Brake (Parking Brake) Lever Play Adjustment
1) After adjusting the brake pedal, check the rear brake
lever play "a" The brake lever play "a" as measured
at the lever holder should be between 6 – 8 mm (0.2
– 0.3 in) when the lever is lightly pulled in towards
the grip. If adjustment is necessary, slacken the
cable by loosening the lock-nut (1) and screwing the
cable adjuster (2) on the brake lever holder all the
way in.

limit "B". If the extension line is out of the limit "B",
replace the friction plates with new ones. Refer to
