SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Wear condition of brake pads varies according to the use of the
vehicle, riding style and road conditions. Generally speaking, the
brake pads may wear faster when driving on wet and dirty roads.
Brake pad wear should be checked during every scheduled
maintenance procedure. In a hydraulic brake system, the thickness of
brake disk and brake pad must be checked. Check the wear mark
(1)
on each
brake pad, if one of the two brake pads is worn to the wear
mark, replace both pads.
If the thickness of brake disk is worn to its
limit, the disk must be replaced at once.
Rear brake inspection
1. Set the scooter on the main stand on a level surface.
2. Check the free play of rear braking lever. The proper free play is 10mm-
20mm.
3. Turn the adjusting nut
(2)
clockwise to decrease the free play or counter-
clockwise to increase it. If you can not adjust the free play properly, take your
scooter to an authorised Nipponia service point.
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.
