Hand brake lever, setting of pressure point
The pressure point is the point of resistance felt on the hand brake lever
when the brake pads contact the brake disc. The hand brake lever move-
ment from start to pressure point can be adjusted by adjustment screw
1
.
This way the play can be adjusted to fit any hand size.
If you turn the adjusting screw clockwise - pressure point moves away
from throttle grip
If you turn it counterclockwise - pressure point moves toward throttle grip
