SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The free-play of the front brake lever is 10-20mm. If the free play of the
brake lever is excessive (>20-30mm) and the brake pad wear is within its
specified limits, air may be trapped in the braking system. It must be
expelled. Take your motorcycle to an authorized Nipponia service point for
brake maintenance.
Rear brake check
The brake pedal free-play is about 20-30mm.
1. Set your motorcycle on the main stand.
2. Turn the rear wheel to check if it rotates freely.
3. Depress the brake pedal several times to check if it returns smoothly to the starting position.
4. Measure the pedal free-play.
5. If the free play is beyond the recommended range it should be adjusted.
NOTE:
- Before riding with newly installed brake pads, first depress the brake lever several times to extend the brake
pad fully and restore normal resistance, making the fluid circulation stable.
