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:
4 ~ 10 mm (0.16 ~ 0.39 in)
5PA30330
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
È and the minimum
É 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).
After the pedal height adjustment, make
sure that the rear brake does not drag.

FRONT BRAKE PAD INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT
1. Remove:
Rubber cap
2. Inspect:

ENGCARBURETOR AND REED VALVE
Float height
1. Measure:
Float height a
Out of specification → Adjust.
Float height:
18 ~ 20 mm (0.71 ~ 0.79 in)
Measurement and adjustment steps:
Hold the carburetor in an upside down
position.
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 specification,
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.
