Checking the front brake

performance and adjust it’s
free play. The free play refers
to the distance for which the
front brake lever travels freely
to achieve the braking effect.
Required free play : 5 to 10 mm. This must be checked with steering at left, right
and centre.
Checking the back brake
Measure the traveling distance of the rear brake lever before the brake begins to
create the braking effect, which should be within 10 to 20 mm from the top end of the
brake lever. This must be checked with the steering at left, right and centre.
Maintaining the brakes
Replace the brake shoe and lining when it is found worn down to the limit at your
nearest approved dealer.
