If the chain requires adjusting, loosen the axle

rotating the adjustor bolts clockwise (CW) or
loosen the chain by rotating the adjustor bolts

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.
