Rear wheel alignment:
Either
Accurately measure the distance from the swingarm pivot to the axle center
on each side or
From the rear of the bike, sight up through both sprockets to ensure that the
chain is running in a straight line (no bend in between or jog at either
sprocket).
Brakes
Check before each ride:
Make sure the brake does not have any leaks by holding the lever in while
checking hose connections.
Make sure the brake lever pressure is OK by pulling in on the lever and
ensuring full braking performance is achieved before the lever touches the
handlebar. If this is not the case, pump the lever several times until the lever
feels firm.
Always make sure the rotor and brake pads are free from oil and grease.
Clean the rotor with mild dish soap or alcohol. Contaminated pads must be
replaced.
Ensure that the brake caliper is centered over the brake rotor. It a correction
is needed, Cobra has thin brake shims to help make minor adjustments in
alignment.
Always leave adequate free-play in the lever or pedal.
CAUTION:
This brake system uses only DOT 4 or 5.1 brake fluid!
