Risk of accident and injury!
• Adjustments to the brake system should only be carried
out by your specialist dealer.
Specialist expertise are required to correctly adjust the brake system.
If you do not have the necessary expertise and the required tools,
you should consult your specialist dealer.

Gripping distance
Adjusting the gripping distance brings the brake lever closer to
the grip.
•
Adjust the brake lever in such a way that you can operate
it safely during the journey without taking your hand off the
handlebars.
note:
Adjusting the gripping distance also adjusts the tension of
the brake cable.
1. Screw in the adjusting screw until you are able to operate the
brake lever safely (see Fig.
“Adjusting the brake lever”
).

Brake cable
note:
If the clearance of the brake shoe to the left and right of the
rim differs by more than 1 mm, a full adjustment of the brake sys-
tem must be carried out by your specialist dealer before adjusting
the brake cable.
1.
Unscrew the lock nut one or two revolutions in an anti-clock-
wise direction (see Fig.
“Adjusting the brake cable”
).
2. Screw the knurled nut clockwise or anti-clockwise until the
distance between the brake pads and the rim is 1 to 2 mm on
both sides (see Fig.
“Mechanical rim brake”)
.
• During this process, grip the brake cable in front of the
knurled nut and pull lightly on it to make the knurled nut
turn with greater ease.
