Brake System
Symptom
Possible cause/consequence and solution
Poor braking performance
The brakes are not inserted.
Insert the brakes
• There is grease stain on the brake disc or shoes. If the brake
disc or shoes are covered in grease, the braking distance will
be longer and the risk of accident and injury increases.
When this happens, please go to an authorized distributor
immediately.
• Clean the brake disc with alcohol.
• Change the brake shoes.
• Bring the dirty disc or shoes to an authorized distributor for
examination.
Symptom
Possible cause/consequence and solution
Poor braking performance
and not distinctive braking
action
Uneven clearance between brake pads in the calipers and brake
disc
• Recalibrate the calipers. Go to an authorized dealer for help.
Alien objects in the brake cable
• Squeeze the brake to get a feeling. If it feels gritty and the
braking is not smooth, then the brake cable has to be
reinstalled. Go to an authorized dealer for help.
Remove/install the Front Wheel
Remove the Front Wheel
Release the brake calipers after the front wheel is removed. The Mechanical brake must not be operated
with the wheels removed. Or, the brake pistons will be fully extended and make contact with one another.
The caliper piston position may be damaged. Only push back the brake caliper pistons and install brake
shoes.
Install the front wheel
Make sure that the lever of the front wheel quick release is in 90° angle with the front wheel axle
before every trip and the lever shall not deviate from its original position. Please refer to the
instructions for the front fork. If the pre-tensioning is low for the quick release, chances are the
front wheel may become loose during the trip and the risk of accident increases. Install the wheel
as instructed.

Symptom
Possible cause/consequence and solution
Metallic noises come out of
brakes and it is rough to
decelerate.
Worn brake shoes will lead to longer braking distance and the
risk of accident increases. When the brake shoes are worn
beyond the minimum thickness, the shoe supports will grind
into the friction ring on the brake disc.
• Have the brake shoes and brake disc, if necessary, changed
by an authorized distributor
