MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
•
Tighten the handlebar clamp bolts, front first, then
rear.
If the handlebar clamps are correctly in-
stalled, there will be no gap at the front and an
even gap at the rear of the clamps after the bolts
torqued.
A. No Gap
B. Gap
Tightening Torque
Handlebar Clamp Bolts:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m, 18 ft·lb)
•
Check the front brake for the proper brake effect,
or no brake drag.
Brakes
Brake lining wear, drum wear, and cable stretch
cause the brakes to go out of adjustment, increasing
lever and pedal play, and decreasing braking effec-
tiveness. Brake adjustment to compensate for this
consists of correcting the cam lever angle, adjusting
the front brake lever and rear brake pedal travel.
Brake Wear Inspection
Front
When the front brake is fully applied, the brake
cam lever should come to an 80 ~ 90° angle with
the brake cable. Otherwise, remove the cam lever,
and then reinstall it in a new position on the shaft to
obtain the proper angle. Adjust the brakes.
WARNING
Worn brake linings diminish brake perfor-
mance, can damage brake components and
lead to brake failure or cause the brake to
lock, resulting in a crash that may cause se-
rious injury or death. If the front brake lever
adjustment cannot be moved to provide full
braking action,
inspect the brake linings
for excessive wear before moving the front
brake cam lever. Replace excessively worn
brake linings. Inspection and replacement of
any brake components should be performed
by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.
