Rear brake idle stroke adjustment
The rear brake foot pedal should have a (B) 5 mm (0.2 in.) idle stroke before
starting the true braking action. Should this not happen proceed as follows:
- loosen nut (3);
- operate the pump rod (4) to increase or decrease the idle stroke;
- tighten nut (3) at the end of the operation.
: When the idle stroke figures are not met, the brake pads will be subjected
to a fast wear that may bring to the TOTAL BRAKE INEFFICIENCY.
: If the brake pedal feels mushy when it is applied, there may be air in the
brake lines or the brake may be defective: CHECK THE BRAKING SYSTEM
(pag. L.8).
Checking the rear brake fluid level
The level (A) must be set between the pump tank notches of MIN and MAX.
