Checking The Brake Lever Free Play; Adjusting The Brake Pedal Free Play - Yamaha T135 SE 2016 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 presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the motorcycle. Air in
the hydraulic system will diminish
the braking performance, which may
result in loss of control and an acci-
dent.
