Brake adjustment on Sirrus x5
Finally got out for a decent ride today 👍..Love the bike..feel like a kid again at 65..lol.....One thing I noticed is when I apply both brakes , the rear brake is closer to bar than the front when fully applied... Where would the adjustment be on this?... Disc brakes are a new animal to me... I saw some small Allen heads in the handle that look like it might be but just wanted to make sure... Thanks! 👍

You tube search for Park Bike disc brake adjustment. Very good step by step tutorials.

Yes, there should be a small hex screw at the brake lever. It should be near the fulcrum of the lever and will be at the end of the hydraulic piston...it'll set the position of the lever relative to the piston. If the left and right are at the same distance from the bar at rest, then they should be the same distance from the bar when fully activated. If not, then there may be additional issues, such as air in the system. If a quick lever adjustment doesn't solve the problem, then you may want to carry it back to the bike shop and ask them to check it out.
