hand break

[apcarter]

Well had to go into the dealer to get the hand break adjusted as its very high. Justed wondered is this covered on warranty as the dealer telling me its not. Surely with it been a break problem I thought this be covered.

It's spelt "brake"

[Lincolnbaggie]

Handbrake needs adjusting fairly regularly. Can't imagine it's a warranty item unless it doesn't actually work or is broken?

Dude, it's a handbrake.

 

If it didn't work, then that's a problem, an adjustment might fall under 'general wear and maintenance' I guess

Zed handbrakes are not very good unless pulled right up to the last notch...

[Paddy78]

I was expecting to see some grizzly wound or at the very least a plaster cast!

 

As everyone else has said, the Zed handbrake is terrible... It even advises in the user manual to leave in gear and park with your wheels turning into the curb.

all done people. much better now and dont roll backs on hills now.

I found this out on my 350 in a rather embarrasing fashion at the Wales meet last year.

[WhackyWill]

Bet in a few weeks it will be the same again, I NEVER park my Zed without putting it in gear, you cannot

 

accidentally start it in gear as you have to dip the clutch.. :teeth:

Oh great! This thread has given me something else to worry about

[apcarter]

been driving around today & had a hill start and the hand brake worked and the never rolled back was so gd no embarrasing monents any more when its starts rolling bk when the hand brake was on. £30 well spent.
