Adjusting brake pedal for B-Type
1. First check foot brake effectiveness by
applying a 25 kg (50 lb). (Approx)
downward force on
the pedal.
The top of the pedal should be at least 1
inch, (25 .4m m) above the surface of the
footrest.
If less than one inch, two things must be
examined:
Free Play:
Free play of the brake pedal should be
1/8-1/4 inch (3-6mm).
If free play is excessive, inspect pedal,
linkage, and master cylinder for wear or
damage and replace
any w
orn parts.
Bleeding:
If free play is correct and brake pedal travel is
still excessive, air may be trapped some
where in the system. Bleed the hydraulic
brake system in a conventional manner,
following the procedure outlined in the Brake
chapter.
