4A-4 Brake Control System and Diagnosis:
Rear Brake Light Switch Inspection
Inspect the rear brake light switch in the following
procedures:
1) Disconnect the rear brake light switch lead coupler
(1).
2) Inspect the switch for continuity with a tester.
If any abnormality is found, replace the rear brake
light switch with a new one.

Rear Brake Light Switch Inspection and
Adjustment
Check the rear brake light switch so that the brake light
will come on just before pressure is felt when the brake
pedal is depressed. If the brake light switch adjustment
is necessary, turn the adjuster nut (1) in or out while
holding the brake pedal.

Air Bleeding from Brake Fluid Circuit
Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion to
absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by
the master cylinder and thus interferes with the full
braking performance of the brake caliper. The presence
of air is indicated by "sponginess" of the brake lever and
also by lack of braking force. Considering the danger to
which such trapped air exposes the machine and rider, it
is essential that after remounting the brake and restoring
the brake system to the normal condition, the brake fluid
circuit be purged of air in the following manner:
CAUTION
!
Handle brake fluid with care: the fluid reacts
chemically with paint, plastic, rubber
materials, etc.
Front Brake
1) Fill the master cylinder reservoir to the top of the
inspection window. Place the reservoir cap to
prevent dirt from entering.
