Brake Shoe Wear
You are able to check brake show wear without having to disas-
semble the rear end. There is an external brake wear indicator. By
depressing the brake pedal, the brake arm arrow moves toward a
reference mark on the brake pedal.
1. Park your motorcycle and use the side stand for support.
2. Depress the brake pedal and check the movement of the arrow
on the brake arm. If the arrow aligns with the reference mark on the
brake pedal, have your local service center replace the brake shoes.
