Adjusting the brake pedal
position The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned approximately 100 mm
above the top of the footrest as shown.
Periodically check the brake pedal po-
sition and, if necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer adjust it.
EW000109
WARNING
@ 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
accident. @
EAU01799
Adjusting the rear brake light
switch The rear brake light switch, which is ac-
tivated by the brake pedal, is properly
adjusted when the brake light comes
on just before braking takes effect.
Since the brake light switch is a compo-
nent of the cruise control system, it
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer,
who has the necessary professional
knowledge and experience.
