General Information

Brake Lever

Do not attempt to adjust the levers
with the motorcycle in motion as this
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
After adjusting the levers, operate the
motorcycle in an area free from traffic
to gain familiarity with the new lever
setting.
Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone
as they may change the lever setting
from the one you are familiar with
causing loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
There are two adjusters installed to the
brake lever; a span adjuster and a ratio
adjuster.

grip to the released lever is shortest
when the span adjuster is rotated
fully counter-clockwise.

right in 0.04 in (1 mm) increments from
