Brakes

Front Brake
Brakes are items of personal safety and should always
be maintained in proper adjustment.
The distance the front brake lever (1) moves before
the brake starts to engage is called free play.
Measured at the tip of the front brake lever, free play
should be maintained at: 10 – 20 mm (0.4 – 0.8 in)

Adjustment
1. Major adjustment should be made using the lower
adjusting nut (2) at the front wheel.
2. Adjust brake lever free play with the front brake
adjusting nut. Turning the nut clockwise will decrease
free play and turning the nut counterclockwise will
increase free play. Make sure the cut-out on the
adjusting nut is seated on the brake arm pin (3) after
making final free play adjustment.
3. Apply the brake several times and check for free
wheel rotation after the brake is released.

could cause sticking or failure.
Lubricate the brake cable with a commercially available
cable lubricant to prevent premature wear and
corrosion.

good condition.
