Free Play:
Whenever pedal height is adjusted or when the rear brake
is getting worn, you should check and adjust the free play
at the brake pedal. Measured at the tip of the brake pedal
(3), free play should be kept between 20‐30mm (0.8‐
1.2in).
Make free play adjustments by forcing the brake arm
forward (5) and then turning the adjusting nut (4). Turning
it in the direction of (A) decreases free play while turning
it in the direction of (B) increases free play. Make sure the
adjusting nut cut‐out is seated on the brake arm (5) when
finished.
WARNING:
It has been my experience that this adjusting
nut can back off on it's own (perhaps due to the increased
vibration of my aftermarket pipes) and I had a near
disaster on the 401 HWY once when it backed off so far
that I had no rear brakes. I would recommend installing a
second 'jam nut' behind this adjuster. I installed a fiber
lock nut as a jam nut and it has not moved at all since
then.
