FRONT & REAR BRAKE

Front Brake (Drum Type)

• Park the motorcycle on its main stand.
  
• Measure the distance, the front brake lever moves before the brake starts to take hold.
• Free play should be 10-20 mm at the tip of the brake lever.
• If adjustment is necessary, turn the adjusting nut.
• Make sure that cut-out on the adjusting nut is seated on the brake joint pin after making final free play adjustment.
• Apply the brake several times and check for free wheel rotation when released.

Note

If proper adjustment can not be obtained by this method, visit your Authorized Hero MotoCorp workshop.

Brake Wear Indicators (Disc Type)

Check for correct brake fluid level in the master cylinder. The master cylinder or the reservoir is located on the right handle bar

Brake pad wear

• Brake pad wear depends upon the severity of usage, the type of riding & road conditions.
• Generally, the pads will wear faster on wet & dry roads. Inspect the pads at regular intervals.
• Check the brake pads for wear by examining the wear limit groove on each pad.
• If either pad is worn to the bottom of the grooves replace both pads as a set. Visit your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop for this service.

Warning

Always apply front and rear brakes simultaneously to avoid skidding of vehicle.
