Re insert the curved tubular cable into the left hand brake arm and adjust the brake cable
so that the combined pad/rim clearance (the gaps from left pad to left rim surface and from right
pad to right rim surface) is 2mm. This adjustment can be made either at the handlebar brake lever
cable adjuster or the inner cable clamp screw on the right hand brake arm. If the latter is adjusted
retighten the clamp screw to tighten to 6-8N.m.
3.7.7
Balance the brake arms by turning the small screws located at the brake arm pivot points.
Apply the brake lever a few times while checking to see that tension is equal for both arms. Pad/rim
contact should occur at the same time each side. Clearance should be 1mm each side. Do not set
tensions too high.
3.7.8
Re adjust the pads so they are properly aligned, as tension adjustment may have altered the
original pad alignment.
3.7.9
Follow the same procedure for the rear brakes.

The front connection box (manifold)
3.8.1
The front connection box (manifold) allows for the easy removal for diagnosis, repair or
replacement of any of the electronic components on the handle bars. The connections to the
handlebar electronics are made through push fit connectors. The connectors, being a push fit are
simple to disconnect or re connect and click into position when fully engaged. Each connector has a
different number of pins and an alignment arrow so it is important to ensure the connectors are only
mated in their original positions with alignment arrows correctly positioned as damage may occur to
the pins if this procedure is not followed.
