Suzuki SV650 User Manual

NOTE: Do not squeeze/depress
the brake lever/pedal when the
pads are not in their positions. It is
difficult to push the pistons back
into position.
Rear Brake Adjustment
The rear brake pedal must be
adjusted to set the clearance
between the pedal and the foot-
rest. Adjust the brake pedal as fol-
lows:
45 – 55 mm
(1.8 – 2.2 in)
1. Loosen the lock nut 1, and
turn the push rod 2 to locate
the pedal 45 – 55 mm (1.8 –
2.2 in) below the top face of
the foot rest.
2. Retighten the lock nut 1 to
lock the push rod 2 in the
proper position.
 WARNING
If you ride this motorcycle after
brake system repair or brake
pad replacement without
pumping the brake lever/pedal,
you may get poor braking per-
formance which could result in
an accident.
After brake system repair or
brake pad replacement, pump
the brake lever/pedal several
times until brake pads are
pressed against the brake
disks and proper lever/pedal
stroke and firm feel are
restored.
 WARNING
Replacing only one of the two
brake pads can result in
uneven braking action and can
increase your chance of having
an accident.
Always replace both pads
together.
