MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 73 WARNING A brake cam lever angle greater than 90 degrees reduces braking effectiveness which can cause a crash resulting in serious injury or death. Whenever the cam lever angle is adjusted, check for brake drag and proper pedal operation. If brake effectiveness is questionable, disassemble and inspect all internal brake parts. Worn brake parts diminish brake performance, can damage brake components and lead to brake failure or cause the brake to lock, resulting in a crash that may cause serious injury or death. Inspection and replacement of any brake components should be performed by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. Rear On the rear brake panel is a brake lining wear indicator. If the brake lining wear indicator does not point within the USABLE RANGE when the brake is fully applied, the brake shoe linings have worn past the service limit. In this case, the brake shoes must be replaced and the drum and other brake parts examined by an authorized Kawasaki dealer. j A. B. C. D. Front Brake Panel Brake Cable Cam Lever 80 ~ 90°

WARNING
A brake cam lever angle greater than 90 de-
grees reduces braking effectiveness which
can cause a crash resulting in serious injury
or death. Whenever the cam lever angle is
adjusted, check for brake drag and proper
pedal operation.
If brake effectiveness is
questionable, disassemble and inspect all
internal brake parts.
Worn brake parts di-
minish

performance,
can
damage
brake components and lead to brake fail-
ure or cause the brake to lock, resulting in
a crash that may cause serious injury or
death.
Inspection and replacement of any
brake components should be performed by
an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
Rear
On the rear brake panel is a brake lining wear in-
dicator. If the brake lining wear indicator does not
point within the USABLE RANGE when the brake is
fully applied, the brake shoe linings have worn past
the service limit. In this case, the brake shoes must
be replaced and the drum and other brake parts ex-
amined by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
