MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Adjustments
Rear Brake
The rear brake is a hydraulic disc
brake. The rear brake system is
self-adjusting and requires no
maintenance other than periodic
checks of the pads for wear.
Pads should be changed when worn to
3/64″ (.1 cm), which is about the
thickness of a U.S. dime.
Inspect the brake disc spline and pad
wear surface for excessive wear.
Auxiliary Brake
Your vehicle’s auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a
backup for the main brake system. Should the main system fail, the
rear brake can be activated by depressing the foot pedal on the inside of
the right footrest. The hydraulic auxiliary brake system will not need
adjustment.
NOTE: Since this is a rear brake only, it will not be as effective as the
all-wheel single lever system.
