2.13 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE BRAKES

Read carefully 1.3 (GENERAL SAFETY RULES).

The brakes are essential to safety and must be kept in perfect working
condition. Always check them before using the motorcycle.

The motorcycle is equipped with three drum brakes, two front and one rear.
Check brake efficiency before every use.
If the thickness of the friction material is worn down to nearly 1 mm, replace
the blocks.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT BRAKES

Loosen the lock nuts (1).

Adjust the brake adjuster (2).

Loosen the lock nuts (1).

ADJUSTING THE REAR BRAKE

ADJUSTING THE BRAKE PEDAL

There are two adjustments:
- brake pedal adjuster (5);
- rear brake adjuster (4).

The first of these adjusts all three brakes:

Slacken the lock nut (6).

Adjust the adjuster (5).

Tighten the lock nut (6).

The second only adjusts the rear brake:
