Checking The Brake Lever Free Play; Adjusting The Rear Brake Lever Free Play - Yamaha Cygnus-X XC125 Owner's Manual

Checking the brake lever free
play
There should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the pres-
ence of air in the hydraulic system.
If there is air in the hydraulic sys-
tem, have a Yamaha dealer bleed
the system before operating the
vehicle. Air in the hydraulic system
will diminish the braking perfor-
mance, which may result in loss of
control and an accident.
