WARNING!
Faults or malfunctions in the brake system could lead to a sudden increase in the brake lever stroke, which could result in poor braking performance and cause
accidents, personal injury or even death.
5.1.3 - ADJUSTING THE FREE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE LEVER (ADJUSTABLE MODULATION SYSTEM) - (IF AVALAIBLE)
The free travel of the brake lever, i.e. the stroke of the lever
before the pads move, can be adjusted to either the " short"
(S) or "long" (L) position (Fig. 3).
Where the stroke difference from S to L is reduced, in order
to increase the desired effect, the S setting can be combined
with moving the brake lever closer to the handlebar, and the L
setting can be combined with moving the brake lever further
away from the handlebar.
To find out what position the brake lever is in currently, or to adjust this, follow the steps below:
• Press the brake lever (A - Fig. 4) until you see the adjustment grub screw through the X hole (Fig. 3).
• Insert a 2.5 mm Allen wrench into the X hole to reach the grub screw.
• Rotate gently clockwise or counter-clockwise in order to discover the position the lever is in.
• Turn the grub screw towards the letter S if you want to set the free stroke to "short" (Fig. 5).
• Turn the grub screw towards the letter L if you want to set the free stroke to "long" (Fig. 5).
The grub screw can be adjusted by about half a turn (180°) between the S and L settings.
• Remove the Allen wrench from the X hole.
While it may seem that a "continuous adjustment" of the free stroke is possibile, in reality, this can only be short or long.
If the Allen key is removed in an intermediate position, the first time the lever is operated, the grub screw will automatically move into one of the two positions.
