Adjusting the brake pedal
position The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned approximately 42.0 mm
(1.65 in) below the top of the footrest as
shown. Periodically check the brake
pedal position and, if necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer adjust it.
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 diminishthe braking performance, which may
result in loss of control and an acci-
dent.
