Title: Rear brake adjustment Triumph t140v
Post by: 4stroke on October 30, 2014, 12:50:41 PM

Could someone advice me on the correct rear brake assembly adjustments for the T140 , Is it best to have the brake (piston assembly) screwed into the alloy housing until the rod touches the metal cup or back the piston assembly back one full turn so that a small gap can be felt by moving the rod back and forth,then tighten the small grub screw?

Follow the instructions given in the Lockheed brake service manual:
