Span Adjuster
The span adjuster allows the distance
from the handlebar to the lever to be
changed to suit the span of the rider's
hands.
To adjust the front brake lever span:
•
Rotate the span adjuster
counterclockwise to decrease
the distance to the handlebar or
clockwise to increase the distance
from the handlebar.
• The distance from the handlebar
grip to the released lever is shortest
when the span adjuster is rotated
fully counter-clockwise.
Ratio Adjuster
The ratio adjuster moves the brake
master cylinder push rod to the left or
right in 0.04 in (1 mm) increments from
0.75 in (19 mm) to 0.83 in (21 mm).
To adjust the front brake lever ratio:
• Rotate the ratio adjuster to the
rider’s preferred position. The
ratio adjuster can be rotated both
clockwise and counter-clockwise to
set the desired preference.
• An audible click can be heard when
the ratio adjuster is locked into
position.
The ratio adjuster has three lever
positions:
• 19 (0.75 in (19 mm)) for a softer brake
feel with a longer lever travel.
• 20 (0.79 in (20 mm)) for a firmer
brake feel and a medium lever travel.
• 21 (0.83 in (21 mm)) for a firm brake
feel and a shorter lever travel.
