I just installed a swing stretch and obviously a few hoses are not long enough.

1. I reattached the rear brake cable. How do you adjust and how do you know when it’s perfect. I know the knob on the cable end tightens and loosens it but how do you know where it is supposed to be when it’s done?



2. I believe this hose from the rear brake is supposed to run up to the side of the block under the seat. Is this right? Is it for ventilation only? Here are some pictures.

The method of how to adjust the rear brake is in the FSM if your unsure. There quite easy though, you want as little resistance as possible on the brake shoes but as little travel as possible at the lever, you just find that mid ground point between brake shoes rubbing and then back it off a half turn at a time until your happy.

Edit: The vent line runs up the frame to the front of the tank just behind the steering stem.

i'd agree with you 100% on this ^^^, but when it comes to mod's on atvs ?, every thing you do to them has an after effect !. folks just don't get this !..lol. he put a swing arm stretch on his atv, by doing this, now the rear brake cable and vent line won't reach.

The rear brake cable will reach after loosening bracket by right knee but need to tweak it. The line from the rear brake is just for ventilation, right? I can run a new one of those if so.

yep, line is for venting the rear brake panel.

instead of buying the line from honda ( which is high dollar ! ) go to wally world ( Walmart ) buy some air pump line ( for fish tanks ), I think its 7mm ?, works just as good, and cheaper !.
