 §INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE FREE PLAY§

INSPECTION: (Brake lever free play must checked with the engine shut off.)
 Brake lever and pedal free play for front and rear wheels.
◆If checking the hand-braking lever for front wheels, its free play (the stroke of hand-braking lever
from no braking to initial braking) should be 10~20mm. It is abnormal if the feel is spongy when
holding the hand-braking lever forcefully.
◆If checking the foot-braking pedal for rear wheels, its free play (the stroke of foot-braking pedal from
no braking to initial braking) should be 20~30mm. It is abnormal if the feel is spongy when press
the foot-braking pedal forcefully.
