Parking Brake
If your motorcycle is equipped with a parking brake, it
should prevent the rear wheel from rolling when the lever
(located on the handlebar) is in the ON position. If the rear
wheel can roll when the parking brake is applied, it should
be adjusted as follows.
Parking Brake Adjustment
1. Support your motorcycle on a stand with the rear wheel
off the ground.
2. Position parking brake lever in the OFF position.
3. Insert a screwdriver into the slot on the end of the cable
(A) to prevent it from rotating.
4. Gradually tighten adjustment nut (B) while rotating the
wheel until you can feel drag on the brake rotor.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the parking brake cable as
this can cause premature brake wear.
5. Operate the parking brake lever ON and OFF to check
adjustment. With the lever applied, you should not be
able to rotate the rear wheel.
6. Re-adjust the parking brake if necessary.
7. Remove your motorcycle from the stand.
