Brake Lever Distance Adjuster

The brake lever adjuster gives the rider the ability to adjust the distance the
brake lever sits from the handlebar.

Brake Fluid

Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brakes. It transfers
force into pressure to amplify braking force.

The Cruiser400 has two brake fluid indicators on the bike. One on
the handlebars and one on the right-hand side of the bike.

Front handlebars

The looking glass on the handlebars indicates the levels of brake
fluid for the front brakes.

Spin dial anti-clockwise

Picture is a representation of the
adjustment of the brake lever. It is
not to be used as an accurate
measurement of how much or how
little the brake can be adjusted

Looking glass for brake
fluid levels

To  fill  the  front  brake  fluid,
undo  the  screws  on  either
side  of  the  cap  and  fill  with
dot4
