Hydraulic clutch lever adjustment and fluid level check

Free play (A) shall be of at least 3 mm (0.12 in).
The lever position can be adjusted to suit the rider hand size.
To decrease the lever distance from the handgrip, rotate the adjuster (B)
CLOCKWISE.
To increase the lever distance from the handgrip, rotate the adjuster (B) COUN-
TER CLOCKWISE.
Fluid level is checked as follows:
- Remove screws (1), cover (2) and rubber diaphragm from the control;
- Keep the control cylinder (3) in a horizontal position and make sure that fluid
level has not dropped lower than 4 mm (0.16 in.) below the upper edge (D)
of master cylinder body;
- If needed, top up with the fluid specified in the LUBRICANT CHART included
in Section "A".
Refit any parts you have removed.
Periodically check the connecting hose (see "Scheduled Maintenance Chart");
if hose (C) is worn or cracked, its replacement is advised.

Front brake lever adjustment and fluid level check (TC - TE - TXC)

The adjuster (1) located on the control lever, allows adjusting of the free play
(a). Free play (a) shall be of at least 3 mm (0.12 in).
The level of the fluid in master cylinder reservoir must never be below the mini-
mum value (2), which can be checked from the inspection window on the rear of
the master cylinder body. A decrease of the fluid level will let air into the system,
hence an extension of the lever stroke.
If the brake lever feels mushy when pulled, there may be air in the
brake line or the brake may be defective: CHECK THE BRAKING
SYSTEM (see Section "L").
Too much brake lever free play may reduce braking action: CHECK
BRAKE PAD THICKNESS (see Section "L").
Do not spill brake fluid onto any painted surface or lens (for example
lights lens).
Do not mix two brands of fluid. Completely change the brake fluid
in the brake system if you wish to switch to another fluid brand.
