Adjusting the Front Brake Lever Position:
Never use adjusters other than those
designed for this motorcycle. Install a new
adjuster from the lever side with the lock
nut under the head of the adjuster.
1. Pull back the rubber dust cover (1).
2. Loosen the lock nut (2).
3. To position the front brake lever (3)
farther away from the handgrip, turn the
adjuster (4) clockwise.
To position the front brake lever closer
to the handgrip, turn the adjuster
counterclockwise.
4. Tighten the lock nut. Return the dust
cover to its normal position.
Lock nut torque:
5.9 N·m (0.6 kgf·m, 4.4 lbf·ft)
5. Apply the brake, release it, then spin the
wheel and check that it rotates freely.
Repeat this procedure several times.
6. Check freeplay by pulling in slowly on
the front brake lever until the brake
starts to engage.
Freeplay:
LESS THAN 20 mm (0.8 in)
If brake lever freeplay is not within this
range, see your dealer.
Other Checks:
Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check
for deterioration or cracks in the hoses and
fittings.
