Adjusting the brake pedal
position
The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned approximately 25.8 mm
(1.02 in) below the bottom of the foot-
rest bracket as shown. Periodically
check the brake pedal position and, if
necessary, have a Yamaha dealer ad-
just it.
WARNING
EWA10690
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal 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 motorcycle. Air in
the hydraulic system will diminish
the braking performance, which may
result in loss of control and an acci-
dent.
