Brake light switch adjustmentThe rear brake light switch is activated
by the brake pedal and is properly ad-
justed when the brake light comes on
just before braking takes effect. To ad-
just the rear brake light switch, hold the
switch body so it does not rotate while
turning the adjusting nut.
Turn the adjusting nut in direction
a to
make the brake light come on earlier.
Turn the adjusting nut in direction
b to
make the brake light come on later.
EAU00715
Checking the front and rear
brake padsA wear indicator is provided on each
brake. This indicator allows checking
of brake pad wear without disassem-
bling the brake. Apply the brake and
inspect the wear indicator. If the indica-
tor is ALMOST in contact with the disc
plate, ask a Yamaha dealer to replace
the pads.
