Adjusting the brake pedal
position
The top of the brake pedal should be

necessary, have a Yamaha dealer ad-
just it.

WARNING
_
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal 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 motorcycle. Air in
the hydraulic system will diminish
the braking performance, which
may result in loss of control and an
accident.
