CAUTION: Before each ride, make sure that the brakes are working properly. If they are not working properly,
have the scooter checked by your Dealer before you ride it.
2. ADJUSTING YOUR BRAKES
BRAKE CABLE FREE PLAY ADJUSTMENT (REAR BAND BRAKE)
If the right brake lever fails the mechanical safety check, restore brake
lever travel by adjusting the brake lever free play as described below. (Figure 8-A)
1. Pull the brake lever to simulate a panic stop, and then release the brake lever.
Repeat this at least ten times.This assures that all components are properly seated.
2. Pull the brake lever until it stops.
3.The amount of lever travel from A to B should be 15 mm / 1/2 in. to begin
brake band movement.
4. Loosen the adjuster locknut, and turn the barrel adjuster as necessary to
adjust clearance to within specification.Turning the adjuster out tightens the
inner wire; turning the adjuster in loosens the wire.When the brake lever is
within specification, tighten the adjuster locknut.
WARNING: Brake cable length will need to be adjusted once the barrel adjuster’s travel is fully used.
See your Dealer or a bicycle dealer for this service. If the brake lever still fails your Mechanical Safety
Check, (See Section 7,“Mechanical Safety Check”) have your Dealer or a bicycle dealer check the
brakes before riding again.
