Rear brake return spring placement on a T500?

Post by celt_rock »

When I got my bike it had a rear brake cable but was disconnected. There was no rear brake lever return spring in sight so
I ordered one from my local Suzuki dealer. Thought putting it on would be easy but I realize I have no idea where it attaches. The hole in the brake lever itself looks like it's for the rear brake light switch (though my bike didn't come with one of those either... will probably have to steal it from my GT380) and the hooks on the spring itself look too big for it anyway. I imagine one of these goes around the frame and one hits up against the pedal but which one and where? Can someone post a photo of their rear brake setup
on their T500? Please?

Thanks so much,

Aron

Here you go, this should help you. In the middle of the second picture you can see where the spring hooks over the frame.
