BRAKES
This motorcycle is equipped with
front and rear drum brakes.
NOTE: Operating in mud, water,
sand, or other extreme conditions
can cause accelerated brake
wear. If your youngster operates
the motorcycle under these condi-
tions, the brake must be
inspected more often than recom-
mend in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE.
Front Brake Adjustment
The front brake lever play should
be 15
– 25 mm (0.6 – 1.0 in) mea-
sured at the brake lever end when
the lever is lightly pulled in
towards the throttle grip. Check
the play every time before riding
and adjust it if necessary, as fol-
lows:
WARNING
Failure to inspect and properly
maintain the brakes increases
your chance of having an acci-
dent.
Inspect the brake system
before each use according to
the INSPECTION BEFORE
RIDING section. Follow the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
section to maintain your brake
system.
WARNING
Failure to adjust the front brake
lever and rear brake pedal play
properly can lead to an acci-
dent or damage your motorcy-
cle. If there is too much play,
the brakes may not stop the
motorcycle when you use
them. This could lead to an
accident. If there is too little
play, the brake shoes may rub
against the drums when the
brakes are not applied, causing
damage to the shoes and
drums.
Follow the procedure below to
adjust the front brake lever and
rear brake pedal.
