Proper Chain Adjustment
Figure 2
1. Make sure that the rear
wheel is aligned properly.
2.
Push down on the seat,
compressing the suspen-
sion down to where the
chain is tightest. At this
point, there should be a
minimum of 1” of slack.
3.
With the rear wheel
elevated, there should be
a minimum of 2.5” of
slack between the swing
arm and the chain.
Rear Brake Maintenance
CAUTION:
Too little brake pedal free-play will allow the brake pads to drag causing the pads
to wear prematurely and possible engine component failures. Too much free-play
will not allow the rider to apply the brakes quickly.
1. Set pedal height/position first, then
2. Set pedal free play.
Brake pedal height can be adjusted with the bolt and nut located under the rear
of the brake pedal. The free-play is adjusted with the adjustable plunger on the
end of the brake pedal.
CAUTION:
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid
Setting rear brake pedal position (see figure 2b):
1. Loosen the lock nut (10mm wrench).
2. Adjust the brake lever stop (10mm wrench) so that the lever is comfortably
reachable in both:
a. Standing riding position, and
b. Sitting riding position.
3. Tighten the lock nut (10 mm wrench).
