INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE FREE PLAY

INSPECTION: (Brake lever free play must be checked with the engine shut off.)
Brake lever free play for front and rear wheels.
If checking the hand-braking lever for front wheels, its free play (the stroke of hand-braking lever
from no braking to initial braking) should be 10~20mm. It is abnormal if the feel is spongy when
holding the hand-braking lever forcefully.
Adjustment:
The indentation of brake adjustment nut must be aligned with the pin. (See below figure)

CAUTION:
When free play is between 10~20 mm, check brake
indicators of front and rear wheels. If the arrow on
the brake arm aligned with the " " marked on the
brake disc, that means the brake lining has been
excessively worn, and must be replaced
immediately.
