SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustment of front brake control lever and fluid level control (TE-TC-
TXC-SMR)
On the SMR model the lever position can be adjusted (4 adjustments) for any
driver hand size. To decrease the lever distance from the handle grip, turn the
adjuster (B) CLOCKWISE. To increase the lever distance from the handle grip,
turn the adjuster (B) COUNTERCLOCKWISE. On the TE, TC and TXC models
the adjuster (2), located on the control lever, allows adjusting of the free play (a).
Free play (a) must be at least 3 mm (0.1 in.). The level of the fluid in pump
reservoir must never be below the minimum value (1), which can be checked
from the window on the rear side of the pump body (TE, TC and TXC). For SMR
model, check the level on the fluid reservoir. A decrease of the fuel level will let
air into the sustem, hence an extension of the level stroke.
: If the brake lever feels mushy when it is applied, there may be air in
the brake lines or the brake may be defective: CHECK THE BRAKING
SYSTEM (page L.6 - L.7).
: If the lever free play is excessive, the brake action can decrease: CHECK
THE PADS THICKNESS (page L.5).
Do not spill brake fluid on to any painted surface or lenses (e.g. headlamp).
Do not mix two brands of fluid. Change the brake fluid in the brake line if
you wish to switch to another fluid brand.
Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case
of contact, flush thoroughly with water and call a doctor if your eyes were
exposed.
