Ensure all hardware is tightened properly
DANGER : A brake lever that can touch the handlebar grip when squeezed can
result in the brake caliper not pressing the pads into the brake rotor fully or at all,
which means that the brake will not function properly or at all. Not being able to
bring the bike to a complete stop puts the rider at a high risk of serious injury or
death. Always make sure that squeezing the brake lever does not cause it to touch
the handlebar grip. Also make sure that a squeeze of the brake lever to halfway
between the lever’s neutral position and the handlebar grip results in the brake
caliper pressing the brake pads against the brake rotor.
If you do not own a torque wrench or you do not have the skills to check the tightness of your
hardware, consult a local, certified, reputable bike mechanic for help. Ensure all hardware
is tightened properly according to the values in “Tools and recommended torque values” on
page 5. This is a critical safety step that you must not skip. See the illustration below for ad-
ditional information about adjusting brake lever clearance from the handlebar grip. If you are
not sure you have the experience, skills, and tools to correctly perform adjustment steps in
the manual, consult a local, certified, reputable bike mechanic.
