Rear Brake

#1 PostAuthor: Wayne1960 » Sat Mar 01, 2014 5:43 pm

Just setting up rear brake. My question is! What position does the wear indicator go on fresh brake shoes?
Just purchased a 1976 UK Z900 A4 for renovation. Wish me luck.
Bike now finished what a joy!

To the minimum setting which will be to the rear of the wheel.

Ok so I did that and positioned the cam lever at 80 degrees then as I adjusted the brake to get the 20 to 30mm play I obviously lost the position and the wear indicator moved off the scale.
Help please
