Adjusting The Rear Brake Light Switch; Checking The Front And Rear Brake Pads - Yamaha Royal Star XVZ13CTW Owner's Manual

Adjusting the rear brake light
switch
The rear brake light switch, which is ac-
tivated by the brake pedal, is properly
adjusted when the brake light comes
on just before braking takes effect.
Since the brake light switch is a compo-
nent of the cruise control system, it
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer,
who has the necessary professional
knowledge and experience.
