Adjusting the brake lever free
play

The brake lever free play should mea-
sure 10.0–15.0 mm (0.39–0.59 in) as
shown. Periodically check the brake le-
ver free play and, if necessary, adjust it
as follows.

1. Loosen the locknut at the brake le-

ver.

2. To increase the brake lever free

play, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (a). To decrease the brake
lever free play, turn the adjusting
screw in direction (b).

3. Tighten the locknut.

WARNING

EWA10630

●

After adjusting the brake lever
free play, check the free play
and make sure that the brake is
working properly.

●

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 hy-
draulic system, have a Yamaha
dealer bleed the system before
operating the motorcycle. Air in
the hydraulic system will dimin-
ish the braking performance,
which may result in loss of con-
trol and an accident.

1. Brake lever free play
