6. General Maintenance:
6.1. Stem Locking Mechanism.
When the stem is correctly locked in the upright position, there should be no free play
between the stem and folding mechanism.
The folding system must be checked regularly and at a maximum interval of every
three months , to ascertain if any free play is noticeable in the stem.
Should free play be experienced when performing the above procedure or during riding,
please follow the steps below to adjust the stopper.
Using a 5 mm Allen key, loosen screw [A] anticlockwise.
Ensure to only loosen the screw, do not remove the screw
completely.
• Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, tighten screw [B] clockwise.
• Using a 5 mm Allen key, tighten screw [A] clockwise.
• Check again that the stem can be unfolded and locked firmly
and that there is no play.
It is recommended to replace the stopper after 2 years.
Contact your nearest dealer.
6.2. Brake Adjustment and Maintenance:
Wear and tear of the braking system is normal after frequent use of the Busbi Hornet.
Some adjustment of the braking system will be required to maintain effective braking.
The following procedures should be followed:
6.3. Adjusting the Mechanical Disc Brakes
The brake pads exert pressure on a disc attached to the wheel hub.
The pressure intensity is controlled by a brake lever via a cable.
If the brake is too tight or too loose, the brake cable must be adjusted to align the
calliper with the brake disc.
To align the mechanical disc brake calliper, loosen the fastening screws of the brake
calliper bracket. Gently pull the corresponding brake lever; the brake calliper will be
drawn into the correct alignment. Hold the brake lever in this position while tightening
the fastening screws of the calliper bracket.
Check the inner pad is 0.2 - 0.4 mm from the disc. If this is not enough, tighten the pad
positioning screw until there is a 0.2 - 0.4 mm gap between the pad and the disc.
To adjust the outer pad, adjust the brake cable tension to achieve a gap of
0.2 - 0.4 mm at the calliper or brake lever level.
Never allow oil or any other lubricant to contaminate the disc or pads. If this happens,
the pads and disc should be degreased or replaced.
Check the alignment of the brake pads by turning the wheel, observe and listen,
ensuring the wheel turns freely.
Stopper

6.4. Brake discs.
The Busbi Hornet is equipped with 12 cm (4.7 inch) diameter discs.
A nut and locknut system on the brake calliper allows you to adjust the cable tension
and braking force, which will vary over time according to the wear of the brake pads.
6.5. Changing the brake pads.
Brake pads are standard, replace them when they no longer have a friction component.
Remove the wheel and remove the worn brake pads from the brake calliper.
Position the new pads in the calliper so that the braking surfaces are in contact.
Do not touch the braking surfaces. Insert the brake pads one after the other into the
brake callipers. Now adjust and test the brakes.
7. Cleaning and Storage.
Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the frame clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with
a toothbrush, then cleaned with a soft wet cloth.
