BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. PAD WEAR ADJUSTMENT
PROBLEM: “The engine has no top end speed”
Solution: Verify the brakes are not dragging. If needed,
increase the gap between the rear brake pads and the
disc by removing shims between the caliper piston and
the brake pad.
PROBLEM: “Excessive pad clearance between each pad and
the disc” (Pad adjustment is necessary when the clearance
between each pad and the disc exceeds 3mm)
Solution: Reduce the gap between the rear brake pads and the disc by fitting a shim
between the caliper piston and brake pad. You must do this on both sides to ensure pad
clearance to the disc is equal. Remove the pad safety pins and fit a shim between the caliper
piston and the brake pad. Refit the safety pins. You can fit additional shims as the pads wear
more, however, ensure you do not fit too many shims as this could cause the pad return
springs to spring bind and this will seriously affect your brake performance. Should you
encounter difficulty fitting the shims then remove the four pad return bolt/springs, fit the
shim and refit the return bolt/springs.
NOTE: The minimum clearance between each pad and the disc should be 1.5mm.
2. PEDAL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
PROBLEM: “Brake pedal pressure does not suit my driving style”
Solution: On the pedal there are three positions available for
the brake actuating linkage. The higher up the brake pedal you
mount the actuation linkage, the more pedal pressure that will
be required. The lower the linkage is mounted on the brake
pedal, the more sensitive the brakes become with less pedal
pressure being required. On the master cylinder there are two
positions available for mounting the brake actuation linkage. The higher the linkage is
mounted, the more sensitive the brakes will be, while requiring less pedal pressure.
