Ratio Adjuster
The ratio adjuster moves the brake
master cylinder push rod to the left or
right in 0.04 in (1 mm) increments from
0.75 in (19 mm) to 0.8 in (21 mm). 0.75 in
(19 mm) provides the rider with a longer/
softer braking action while 0.8 in (21 mm)

provides a shorter/firmer lever action.
To adjust the front brake lever:
Turn the ratio adjuster to the rider's
▼
preferred position.
The rotary wheel will rotate and
▼
click into position.
The ratio adjuster has three lever
positions:
19 (0.75 in (19 mm)) for a softer brake
▼
feel with a longer lever travel
20 (0.78 in (20 mm)) for a firmer
▼
brake feel and a medium lever travel
21 (0.83 in (21 mm)) for a firm brake
▼
feel and a shorter lever travel.
Note
An audible click can be heard when the
ratio wheel is locked into position.
Four marks are visible on the wheel, 19 -
20 - 21 - 20.
The ratio wheel can be turned both
clockwise and counterclockwise to set
the required preference.
