Rear Brake (Parking Brake) Lever Play Adjustment
1) After adjusting the brake pedal, check the rear brake
lever play “a” The brake lever play “a” as measured
at the lever holder should be between 6 – 8 mm (0.2
– 0.3 in) when the lever is lightly pulled in towards
the grip. If adjustment is necessary, slacken the
cable by loosening the lock-nut (1) and screwing the
cable adjuster (2) on the brake lever holder all the
way in.
Rear brake lever play “a”
6 – 8 mm (0.2 – 0.3 in)
2) Turn the adjust nut (3) so the rear brake lever has 6
– 8 mm (0.2 – 0.3 in) play “a” at the rear brake lever
end before pressure is felt.
3) Minor adjustment can be made with the adjuster (2).
4) Tighten the lock-nut (1).
5) After adjusting the play, check that the rear wheels
roll freely without applying the brake, the
transmission in neutral and the rear wheels off the
ground. Readjust the rear brake lever if the rear
wheels could not roll freely.
