BRAKE SHOE WEAR

If the brake wear indicators aligns when brake is applied, brake shoe must be replaced.











Place the motorcycle on the center stand and remove the rear wheel axle nut.











Use a screwdriver to remove the axle.










Remove the drive chain.












Remove the rear brake adjusting nut and rod from the brake arm.









Remove the wheel and check the brake. This is a single leading shoe. Pull the lock pin out and remove the washer. Pull one brake shoe and the shoes will come out together with the springs. Clean the dust and smoothed the brake shoe and drum with a sandpaper. Or change it with a new one. Put everything back in the reverse order and make sure to put grease on the brake camshaft and pivot post. Tighten the axle nut to specified torque. (6.0 kg-m, 43.5 ft-lb).
After installing the wheel, apply the brakes and check for free wheel rotation when released. Do it several times. Don't forget to check or adjust the brake lights.
