Technical Specifications & Notes.
- Master cylinder will be supplied with the screw adjuster set at
position 0 (i.e. with the adjuster flush with locknut as drawn)
at this setting piston travel is at its maximum, which will give
best conditions for bleeding the brake system. Typical working
stroke is shown as a guide (see table opposite) only working
stroke should be set to riders preference. After initial setting
only small adjustments, typically ±½ turn should be necessary to
suit differing conditions.
- Lever travel will usually increase slightly in dynamic
applications over static settings due to disc runout etc. it is
therefore advisable to set lever feel on the hard side for
initial test.
- Important: If any impact is sustained on lever causing a high
pressure input to brake system, the whole system should be either
replaced or sent back to AP Racing for examination.
