To adjust the position of the rear brake pedal, proceed as follows:
Loosen the lock nut (4).
Turn the pedal travel adjuster screw (5) until the pedal is in the desired position.
Tighten the lock nut (4).
Operate the pedal by hand and check that there is
1.5-2
mm of pedal free travel before the brake begins to operate.
If this is not the case, adjust the length of the brake cylinder control rod as follows:
Loosen the lock nut (7) on the brake cylinder control rod.
To increase the amount of pedal free travel, screw the rod further into the fork (6). Unscrew the rod to decrease.
Tighten the lock nut (7) and check the amount of pedal free travel.
Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The adjuster (1) is on the RH side at the bottom end of the rear shock absorber, near the mounting point to the
swingarm. This adjuster sets rebound damping.
The ring nuts (2) and (3) at the top end of the shock absorber are for external spring preload.
Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise for harder (
H
) damping and counterclockwise for softer (
S
) damping.
