ADJREAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT/
FRONT BRAKE PAD INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
EC364002
REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Check:
Brake pedal height a
Out of specification → Adjust.
Brake pedal height a:
5 mm (0.20 in)
2. Adjust:
Brake pedal height
Pedal height adjustment steps:
Loosen the locknut 1.
Turn the adjusting nut 2 until the pedal
height a is within specified height.
Tighten the locknut.
WARNING
Adjust the pedal height between the
maximum Å and the minimum ı as
shown. (In this adjustment, the bolt 3
end b should protrude out of the
threaded portion 4 but not be less than
2 mm (0.08 in) c away from the brake
pedal 5).
After the pedal height adjustment, make
sure that the rear brake does not drag.

Float height
1. Measure:
Float height a
Out of specification → Adjust.
Float height:
8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Measurement and adjustment steps:
Hold the carburetor in an upside down
position.
NOTE:
Slowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite
direction, then take the measurement
when the needle valve aligns with the float
arm.
If the carburetor is level, the weight of the
float will push in the needle valve, result-
ing in an incorrect measurement.
Measure 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.
If the float height is not within specifica-
tion, inspect the valve seat and needle
valve.
If either is worn, replace them both.
If both are fine, adjust the float height by
bending the float tab b on the float.
Recheck the float height.

the same outer diameter as the specified
value.
Throttle valve height:
3.40 mm (0.134 in)
Fully turn in the accelerator pump adjust-
ing screw 3.
Check that the link lever 4 has free play

Gradually turn out the adjusting screw
while moving the link lever until it has no
more free play.
