Clutch Lever; Adjusting The Rear Brake Light Switch; Checking The Front And Rear Brake Pads - Yamaha MT-01 Owner's Manual

Clutch lever

Since this model is equipped with a hy-
draulic clutch, adjusting the clutch lever
free play is not needed. However, it is
necessary to check the hydraulic sys-

clutch lever free play does become ex-

clutch system. If there is air in the hy-
draulic system, have a Yamaha dealer
bleed the system before operating the
motorcycle.
