MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Adjustments
Rear Brake
The rear brake is a hydraulic disc brake and
is activated by the same lever that activates
the front brake system. 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 auxiliary brake 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 require
adjustment.
NOTE: Since this is a rear brake only, it will not be as effective as the
all wheel system.
