Brakes

The left brake lever is for the front
wheel.
The right brake lever is for the
back wheel.
Familiarize yourself with how the
brakes work.

Do a couple of brake
tests before you start
riding.

Always use an
appropriate
combination of rim and
brake blocks.

Regularly check the operation of
the brakes.

Adjustment

When the brake lever is pulled
three-quarters of the way (1A), the
braking power must be full.

Regularly check the wear
indication of the brakes.

When the brakes wear out, the
braking power can decrease.

1. Release the brake lever.
2. Adjust the brakes by turning

the screw (1B).

3. If the result of adjusting the

screw (1B) is unsatisfactory,
the brakes are probably
worn out. Contact your Koga
dealer.

Maintenance

Never use protective
agents or lubricants on
brake blocks or braking
surfaces.
Never grease cables
that have a protective
Teflon layer.

After maintenance
or adjustment of the
brakes, always do a
brake test.
Loosen the brakes
before you take out the
wheel (2 and 3).

Disc brakes

Disc brakes reach their full
braking power after a certain
running-in period.

Brake Power Controller

If you brake hard suddenly, the
Brake Power Controller (4A)
administers the braking power.
This means you can brake more
safely.

The Brake Power
Controller is not an ABS
system.
