Brake Adjustment
Brake Adjustment
1. PAD WEAR ADJUSTMENT
Problem: “The engine has no top end speed”
Solution:
Verify the brakes are not dragging. If needed, increase the gap between the rear
brake pads and the disc by removing shims between the caliper piston and the brake pad.
Problem: “Excessive pad clearance between each pad and the disc”
(Pad adjustment is necessary when the clearance between each pad and the disc exceeds 3mm)
Solution: Reduce the gap between the rear brake
pads and the disc by fitting a shim between the
caliper piston and brake pad. You must do this
on both sides to ensure pad clearance to the disc
is equal. Remove the pad safety pins and fit a
shim between the caliper piston and the brake
pad. Refit the safety pins. You can fit additional
shims as the pads wear more, however, ensure
you do not fit too many shims as this could cause
the pad return springs to spring bind and this
will seriously affect your brake performance. Should you encounter difficulty fitting the shims
then remove the four pad return bolt/springs, fit the shim and refit the return bolt/springs.
Note:
The minimum clearance between each pad and the disc should be 1.5mm. Arrow karts brakes are
supplied with 4 adjustment shims (2 x 0.5mm thick and 2 x 1.0mm thick) making adjustment simple.
2. PEDAL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Problem: “Brake pedal pressure does not suit my driving style”
Solution: On the pedal there are three positions available
for the brake actuating linkage. The higher the setting the
more pedal pressure required. A lower setting will make
the brake more sensitive and require less pedal pressure.
On the master cylinder there is two positions available.
The higher setting will produce a more sensitive brake
requiring less pedal pressure.
