Front Brakes
The front brake is fully hydraulic.
WARNING! Your front brake needs a break-in period to achieve maximum brake
power. 30-40 stops will bring the brake to peak performance.
Check before each ride:
Make sure the brake does not have any leaks by holding the lever in while
checking hose connections.
Make sure the brake lever pressure is OK by pulling in on the lever and
ensuring full braking performance is achieved before the lever touches the
handlebar. If this is not the case, pump the lever several times until the lever
feels firm.
Always make sure the rotor and brake pads are free from oil and grease.
Clean the rotor with mild dish soap or alcohol. Contaminated pads must be
replaced.
Do not remove the brake lever unless you want to bleed the brake!!! The
piston will come out along with the oil behind it unless you keep it held in the
master cylinder.
CAUTION:
This brake uses low viscosity mineral oil available from a Cobra Dealer. DO
NOT EVER USE DOT BRAKE FLUID!!!
Brake Pad removal procedure:
1) Remove brake caliper using 4mm Allen wrench as shown
