bleed if necessary.
1. First check foot brake effectiveness by
applying a 25 kg (50 lb). (Approx)
downward force on
the pedal.
The top of the pedal should be at
least 1
inch, (25 .4m m) above the surface of the
footrest.
If less than one inch, two things must be
examined:
Free Play:
Free play of the brake pedal
should be
1/8-1/4 inch (3-6mm).
If free play is excessive, inspect pedal,
linkage, and master cylinder for wear or
damage and replace
any w
orn parts.
Bleeding:
If free play is correct and brake pedal travel is
still excessive, air may be trapped some
where in the system. Bleed the hydraulic
brake system in a conventional manner,
following the procedure outlined in the Brake
chapter.

proper adjustment.

auxiliary footbrake. This brake should
not
stop the wheels from turning until the lever is
half
way be
tween its rest
position and
bottoming on the footrest.
