REAR DRUM BRAKE
WARNING
The brakes are the parts that most
ensure your safety and for this
reason they must always be perfectly
working; check them before every trip.
For any doubt regarding the perfect
functioning of the braking system and
in case you are not able to carry out the
usual checking operations, contact
your aprilia Official Dealer.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE
◆ Measure the distance covered by the
lever before the brake starts its braking
action. The idle stroke at the end of the
brake lever must be about 0.4 in (10
mm).
To adjust the clearance, proceed as
follows:
◆ Force the spring (1) to reach the seat (2)
of the threaded rod.
◆ Lock the rotation of the threaded rod by
acting on the appropriate seat (2) with a
spanner.
◆ Act on the adjuster (3).
◆ Put on the brake repeatedly and make
sure that the wheel turns freely after the
brake has been released.
◆ Check the braking efficiency.
The fact that the adjuster (3) can be
tightened completely or the indicator (4)
is positioned beyond the reference
tooth (5) indicates that the brake shoes
are worn; in this case, see page 73
(CHECKING THE BRAKE SHOE WEAR).
