Checking the brake lever free

play

There should be no free play at the

brake lever end. If there is free play,

have a Yamaha dealer inspect the

brake system.

WARNING

EWA14211

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake

lever can indicate the presence of air

in the hydraulic system. If there is air

in the hydraulic system, have a

Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-

fore operating the vehicle. Air in the

hydraulic system will diminish the

braking performance, which may re-

sult in loss of control and an acci-

dent.

Brake light switches

The brake light, which is activated by

the brake pedal and brake lever, should

come on just before braking takes ef-

fect. If necessary, adjust the rear brake

light switch as follows, but the front

brake light switch should be adjusted

by a Yamaha dealer.

Turn the rear brake light switch adjust-

ing nut while holding the rear brake light

switch in place. To make the brake light

come on earlier, turn the adjusting nut

in direction (a). To make the brake light

come on later, turn the adjusting nut in
