Default does anyone on here work on honda scooters,help needed?

bit a shot in the dark here ladies and gents but im just wondering if anyone on here works for or does servicing on honda scooters,as i have recently taken on doing the "knowledge"(learning to become a black cab driver in london) and was just wondering if anyone knew how to adjust the rear brake as it has become slack over the last couple of months since buying it,there is a lot of movement in the rear brake lever and it goes almost back to the handgrip(think thats what its called anyway )i have recently just given it an oil change and that was easy but cant seem to see where u adjust the brake,any advice would b greatly appreciated as im doing a lot of miles on the bike and have a long wait to get it booked in for servicing so would like to get it sorted for myself as i dont really wanna ride with no rear brake

thanks again, rick

i had this on my speedfight,

i changed the pads and changed the break fluid,

to bleed it, you need two people, get the person to pull the brake lever, then you undo the bleed nipple a lil bit, (using a break bleed kit, or bit of vacume hose over the nipple into a pot of fluid)

keed doing this for a while, make sure you keep the fluid toped up

this brought the bit back for mine,

hope this helps
