Front Brake Adjustment
Check the front brakes for proper
operation every time before riding. If
necessary, adjust the front brakes as
follows:
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face. Lift the front end of the vehi-
cle and place a solid object, such
as a wooden block, securely
under the frame.
2. Turn the upper and lower cable
adjusters equally until the brake
lever clearance measured at the
lever holder is 4 – 6 mm (0.16 –
0.24 in) when the lever is
squeezed. Make sure that at least
5 mm (0.2 in) of the adjuster
threads
1
are inserted in the
lever holder, as shown in the pho-
tograph. If the cable adjusters do
not provide enough adjustment,
turn the left and right brake hub
adjuster
2
equally to obtain the
specified clearance.
3. Turn the upper or lower cable
adjuster so that when the brake
lever is fully squeezed the cable
holder is in the straight up posi-
tion. This adjustment is important
for smooth braking, and to help
prevent uneven wear of the brake
shoes on the left and right wheels.
Check the brake lever clearance
again, and repeat step (2) if nec-
essary.
4. Release the front brake lever and
turn the front wheels by hand to
make sure the brakes do not drag.
If either brake drags, the brake
lever clearance should be
increased slightly. Repeat steps
(2) and (3).
