Thank you Jon for posting this video. When you carried out the oil change was the bike on stand or were you able to get to the oil bolt while it was on its side stand? I have googled to see if there is a aftermarket center stand for this bike but it looks like there is only for the Bolt that is available but not for the SCR.
Great question. As a rule, I don't usually adjust the rear brake pedal engagement point from factory settings unless something feels wrong on the test ride. If it feels wrong, it's usually because someone else has been messing with it, changing it from the factory settings. Looking at the bike, the adjuster linkage has a lock nut towards the front of the bike that needs loosened and then you can turn the adjusting screw in or out to raise or lower the rear brake pedal travel. Once the height is where you want it, retighten the lock nut. Space looks tight on the bike and may require you to do more than that to access everything 😉.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 I was talking about the rear brake pedal adjustment under the right foot peg. When I bought my SCR950 I had to push it almost two inches before it would start braking.
@@bbmurray1 I revised my response after looking at the bike. It seems like someone else was messing with linkage or you had air in the brake line. I check brake actuation on the preliminary test ride. This one was fine so no need to adjust it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post this! Saving to favorites. I just got one Jan 2023.
Very cool! Be sure to check out my other SCR950 videos on the channel Dave. Cheers!
Brilliant, thank you.
You're very welcome!

Great question! The bike was on the side stand. The drain bolt was easy to access from the side opposite the stand. Hope that helps!
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Yes it did help. Thanks.
Any reason you didn't show how to adjust the rear brake?

@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Yes I hadto adjust the linkage.
What is your opinion of the SCR950? I recently discovered this bike and watched a great review.
I released a review of the SCR950 about a week ago. You can check it out on my channel.
The belt tension should be done with a 10lb gauge. They are pretty inexpensive, and unlike a chain, a belt will keep flexing the harder you push it.
Right on!
very useful thanks
You're welcome.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 just found a new one in black with 0 miles on it so arranging to secure it with dealer this week
@@stanleylawson9015 Nice! They are cool machines.
