PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Clean any spilled brake fluid/oil immediately as it can corrode painted surfaces,
plastic, rubber parts, etc. Brake fluid/oil should always remain visible in the viewing
window of the reservoir during the exhausting process. To insure this, add brake fluid/oil
to the main cylinder at any time during the process.
III. REAR BRAKE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
a.
Drum Brake System
To adjust the clearance on the rear drum brake system:
i. Locate the cable wire and nut connected to the rear wheel.
ii. Turn the nut clockwise to tighten the brake clearance or counterclockwise to
loosen the brake clearance.
The disc brake system includes brake fluid/oil and is engaged by squeezing
the left brake handle, where the brake fluid/oil reservoir is also located. It can
be inspected and maintained as follows:
IV. SHOCK ABSORBERS
a.
Rear shock absorbers – Inspect the rear shock absorbers after every 125 miles of
use. Replace the shock absorbers immediately if looseness or cracks are found.
b.
Front shock absorbers – Inspect the front shock absorbers regularly. Replace the
shock absorbers immediately if damage or failure is found.
Note: The front fork should be kept clean to insure proper functioning of the front
shock absorbers
