Brake pedal height a:
5 mm (0.20 in)
2. Adjust:
lBrake pedal height
Pedal height adjustment steps:
lLoosen the locknut 1.
lTurn the adjusting nut 2 until the pedal
height a is within specified height.
lTighten the locknut.
WARNING
lAdjust the pedal height between the
maximum and the minimum õ as
shown. (In this adjustment the bolt 3
end b should protrude out of the lower
adjusting nut 4 but not be less than
2 mm (0.08 in) c away from the brake
pedal 5).
lAfter the pedal height adjustment, make
sure that the rear brake does not drag.

FRONT BRAKE PAD INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT
1. Inspect:
lBrake pad thickness a
Out of specification ® Replace as a
set.

ENGCARBURETOR
Float height
1. Measure:
lFloat height a
Out of specification ® Adjust.
Float height:
8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Measurement and adjustment steps:
lHold the carburetor in an upside down
position.
NOTE:
lSlowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite
direction, then take the measurement
when the needle valve aligns with the float
arm.
lIf the carburetor is level, the weight of the
float will push in the needle valve, result-
ing in an incorrect measurement.
lMeasure the distance between the mating
surface of the float chamber and top of the
float using a vernier calipers.
NOTE:
The float arm should be resting on the nee-
dle valve, but not compressing the needle
valve.
lIf the float height is not within specifica-
tion, inspect the valve seat and needle
valve.
lIf either is worn, replace them both.
lIf both are fine, adjust the float height by
bending the float tab b on the float.
lRecheck the float height.
