There should be no free play at the
brake lever ends. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.

WARNING

EWA14211

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever 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 vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re-
sult in loss of control and an acci-

dent.

EAU33473

Adjusting the rear brake lock
lever cable

Rear brake lock lever cable adjustment
may be required if the rear brake lock le-
ver does not hold properly. When the
rear brake lock lever is not in use, the
rear brake lock lever cable length should
measure 45 mm to 47 mm (1.77 in to
1.85 in) at the rear brake caliper. Peri-
odically check the rear brake lock lever
cable length and, if necessary, adjust it
as follows.
To increase the rear brake lock lever
cable length, turn the adjusting nut at
the rear brake caliper in direction (a).

To decrease the rear brake lock lever
cable length, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).

WARNING

EWA10650

If proper adjustment cannot be ob-
tained as described, have a Yamaha

dealer make this adjustment.
