Adjustment
1. Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a
support block under the engine. Turn the wheel by
hand and check the free play at the tip of the brake
lever (1). Free play is the distance the lever moves
before the brake starts to engage. The brake lever
free play should be 20 – 30 mm (0.8 – 1.2 in).
2. Minor adjustments should be made using the upper
adjuster. Loosen the lock nut (2) and turn the
adjuster (3) as necessary. Tighten the lock nut and
recheck the free play.

3. If the adjuster is threaded out near its limit and the
correct free play cannot be obtained, loosen the
lock nut and turn in the cable adjuster completely.
Tighten the lock nut. Adjust the free play with the
lower adjuster.
