Your motorcycle is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. Hydraulic brakes
require brake fluid for its operation. Both front and rear brakes have a brake fluid reservoir built into the
master cylinders. Follow the procedures below to adjust the brake levers to the specified ranges and check
fluid levels.
1.
To position the brake lever away from the grip, turn the
adjuster
clockwise until the desired position is
reached.
2.
To position the brake lever closer to the grip, turn the
adjuster
counter-clockwise
3.
Pull in the brake lever slowly until the brake starts to
engage. The free-play should be 10-15 mm.
4.
If the free-play is less or more, you need to adjust the
lever again, until the specification is reached.
1.
Loosen the nut
and turn the adjuster
to either
direction for the desired height.
2.
The height of the lever should approximately be level
with the height of the foot rest.
1.
Check the level of the brake fluid by looking in the sight
glass
periodically with the motorcycle in the upright
position.
2.
The fluid level should not be lower than half way.
3.
If the level is lower than half way, check the brake pads
for wear and the system for leaks. (Pg. 47)
