    a. If correct play can be achieved and the adjuster


    is close to the middle of its range of traveL
    A B
    tighten the locknut. Adjustment is complete. I I
    b. If correct play cannot be achieved with the
    adjuster or if the adjuster is fully screwed in
    or out, set the adjuster to the middle of its
    travel and tighten the locknut. Perform Step 3
    to adjust the cable housing.
    3. To adjust the cable housing, loosen the cable
    locknut (A, Figure 49), and then tum the adjuster (B)
    to increase/decrease play in the cable and lever. Ad­
    just the cable so free play at the clutch lever end is
    10-15 mm (0.4-0.6 in.). Tighten the cable locknut.

    Front Brake Lever Adjustment

    Measure the amount of free play between the end


    of the adjuster and the master cylinder pushrod
    (Figure 50). Free play should be 0.1-0.3 mm
    (0.004-0.012 in.). If free play is incorrect, loosen
    the locknut and tum the adjuster screw to achieve
    the correct play. Tighten the locknut.

    Rear Brake Pedal Adjustment

    The rear brake pedal height is adjusted in rela­


    tionship to the footpeg. When the pedal height is
    set, the amount of free play in the rear master cylin­
    der is also set.
    I. Measure the distance between the top of the
    footpcg and the top of the pedal (Figure 51). The
    required pedal height is 0-10 mm (0-0.4 in.) bclow
    the footpeg.
    2. If necessary, adjust the pedal height and free
    playas follows:
    a. Loosen the locknut (A, Figure 52) and tum
    the adjuster (B) to increase/decrease play in
    the pedal.
    b. Tighten the locknut.
    3. Check the brake pedal adjustment from the rid­
    ing position, and adjust if necessary.
    4. Measure the distance between the top of the
    brake arm to the end of the pushrod (Figure 53).
    The clearance should be at least 1.0 mm (0.04 in.).
    The pushrod should never touch the brake arm.
    5. With the rear wheel off the ground, tum the wheel
    and operate the pedal to ensure the brake can be fully
    engaged and disengaged. If brake pedal height and
    free play cannot be achieved, inspect for a bent brake
