Cable Housing Lengths and Routing
The cable housing lengths at the lower portion of the steer ing mast are set to fi t
the mast in an ex tend ed ad just ment po si tion. If the steer ing mast needs to be set
close to the short er end of the ad just ment range, the hous ing lengths may need to
be ad just ed to avoid con tact with oth er mov ing parts.
ADJUST CA BLEHOUS ING LENGTH AP PRO PRI ATE LY: Cable hous-
ing may in ter fere with mov ing parts, such as the drive chain or
lower han dle bar stem, which may cause you to lose control
and fall. Be sure to adjust ca ble hous ing lengths ap pro pri ate ly
after mak ing ad just ments to steer ing mast ex tend ed length.
TYPE 2 steering masts have ca ble hous ing stops at the left, or non-drive side of
the fore-aft centerline. Both brake cable hous ings are rout ed to the rear pair of
ca ble hous ing stops. Both gear cable hous ings are rout ed to the for ward ca ble
hous ing stops.
CHECK YOUR BRAKE CABLE ENGAGEMENT: Before you begin every
ride, or move the steering mast fore/aft, depress the front and rear
brake levers to ensure proper brake cable engagement. Failure to
do so could result in brake cables that are not properly engaged
which could in turn result in an accident and serious injury or death.
If you have questions or concerns about the length of your brake
cables, contact your local dealer for assistance.
