After adjusting the front brake lever position
(distance), make sure align the mark on the ad-
juster with the mark on the brake lever.
Make sure that the brake does not drag after
adjusting it.
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever can
indicate the presence of air in the brake sys-
tem. This air must be removed by bleeding the
brake system before the motorcycle is oper-
ated. Air in the system will cause greatly di-
minished braking capability and can result in
loss of control and an accident. Inspect and
bleed the system if necessary.
