BRAKE SYSTEM
INSPECTION
Firmly apply the brake lever or pedal, and check that no
air has entered the system.
If the lever or pedal feels soft or spongy when operated,
bleed the air from the system (page 18-5).
Inspect the brake hoses [1], pipes and fittings for
deterioration, cracks, damage and signs of leakage.
Tighten any loose fittings.
Replace hoses, pipes and fittings as required.
BRAKE LEVER ADJUSTMENT
The distance between the brake lever and the grip can
be adjusted by turning the adjuster [1].
Align the " " mark [2] on the brake lever with the index
number on the adjuster.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH
• The brake light switch on the front brake master
cylinder cannot be adjusted. If the front brake light
switch actuation and brake engagement are not
synchronized, either replace the switch unit or the
malfunctioning parts of the system.
Check that the brake light comes on just prior to the
brake actually being engaged.
If the light fails to come on, adjust the switch so that the
light comes on at the proper time.
Hold the switch body [1] and turn the adjuster [2].
Do not turn the
