2) At the brake assembly at the wheel, one person should push the silver
lever all the way forward with one hand (engaging the brake). With the
other hand this person should pull the brake cable further through the
cable clamping mechanism by pulling the cable with pliers grabbing the
end of the cable. Be careful not to deform the spring and boot by
keeping them in a straight line as the lever is compressed.
Brake Tensioning Step 2: Brake cable pulling
3) While one person holds the lever and pulls the cable, the other should
tighten the cable clamping mechanism by using a 2.5mm and 3mm
Allen key on each side. These screws should be set VERY tightly
possible by hand to avoid cable slipping. When the clamping
mechanism is tight, the lever and cable can be released.
4) If necessary, fine tune the depressed position of the brake lever on the
handlebar by using the rotating barrel screws. This procedure is
described in the assembly section.
§ Brake balancing. If you hear a rubbing noise from the brakes when they
are not depressed and the tires are rotating, your brake pads may be out of
balance. In other words, the disc may be closer to one pad than the other.
To fix this on either the front or rear brake, loosen the two screws shown in
the photo using a 4mm Allen wrench. Fully depress the brake lever and
hold it there. While the lever is depressed, firmly tighten both screws.
Release the brake lever.
Brake Balancing: Set screws to loosen for balancing
§ Adjusting pre-load on rear suspension. To get the best ride, the pre-load
on the rear suspension should be set for the weight of the rider. To do this,
position the threaded spring adjuster so that when the rider sits on the bike
the rear suspension drops by approximately 1 inch at the rear of the seat.
Looking from the rear of the bike, rotate the adjuster clockwise to increase
pre-load and reduce the suspension drop.
§ Brake pad replacement. The brake pads on your motorbike should last
several thousand miles. However, they will require replacement when they
are worn out. Consult with Nova Cruz technical support or your dealer for
instructions on replacing your brake pads. Instructions are in the RST
instruction booklet.
§ Cleaning your Voloci. Do not use any solvents or polishing compounds to
clean your Voloci. Graphics may be damaged. Warm water and
soap/detergent should be used for cleaning.
