the threaded holes in the lower plate and connecting
them to the bearing.
3. Screw the adjusting barrels into the lower plate.
Don't tighten the locknuts at this time.
4. Connect the lower cable to the rear brake. Don't
adjust the rear brake at this time. NOTE: Check to
make sure all 11 cable casing ends on the upper
and lower cables are seated correctly, and that
the spring tension of the rear brake is pulling the
bearing down.
Adjustment
1. Screw the cable adjusters on the rear brake lever
and the upper cable splitter all the way in.
2. Screw the adjusting barrels in the upper plate in
(or out) to set the bearing for maximum travel. The

plate. Use a 10 mm wrench to tighten the locknut on
the left adjusting barrel loose.
4. Screw the lower cable adjusting barrel into (or out
of) the lower plate until they are as close to the bearing
as they can get without touching it.
5. Screw the cable adjuster on the upper cable splitter
out until all slack is removed from the upper cable.
Then screw the cable adjuster out one more turn to
raise the bearing an additional 1 mm away from the
lower cable adjusting barrels.
6. Check for bearing flop by placing the handlebars
in the normal riding position, then quickly rotate the
handlebars back and forth. Perform the following
steps to eliminate bearing flop. NOTE: The bearing
should never be allowed to rest on the lower plate
or lower cable adjusting barrels.
a) Screw the lower cable adjusting barrels out of (or
into) the lower plate until all bearing flop is eliminated.
b) Tighten the locknut of the right adjusting barrel on
the lower cable.
c) Rotate the handlebars 180 degrees and recheck
for bearing flop. If there is any bearing flop, use the
"loose" adjusting barrels on the upper and lower cable
to remove it.
d) Repeat steps (6a) and (6c) until the handlebars can
be rotated 360 degrees without any bearing flop.
7. Finish adjusting the rear brakes.
CAUTION
Do not screw the cable adjuster on the upper cable
splitter out more than 8 mm. Use the cable adjuster on
the rear brake lever if more adjustment is needed.
