the clutch, pull the lever toward the
handlebar grip. To engage the clutch,
release the lever. The lever should be
pulled rapidly and released slowly for
smooth clutch operation.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the clutch
lever and the handlebar grip, turn the
adjusting dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the handlebar grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with the
arrow mark on the clutch lever.
The clutch lever is equipped with a
clutch switch, which is part of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system. (See page

Shift pe dal
The shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle and is used in
combination with the clutch lever when
shifting the gears of the 6-speed con-
stant-mesh transmission equipped on
this motorcycle.
EAU49518
Brake lever
The brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the
front brake, pull the lever toward the
throttle grip.
This model is equipped with a unified
brake system.
When pulling the brake lever, the front
brake and a portion of the rear brake
are applied. For full braking perfor-
mance, apply both the brake lever and
the brake pedal simultaneously.
The unified brake system is monitored
by an ECU, which disables unified
braking and resumes conventional
braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
 Resistance and vibration may be
felt in the brake pedal while the
front brake is being applied and
the unified brake system is en-
abled, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.
 The unified brake system does not
function until the vehicle starts
moving.
 After coming to a stop while ap-
plying the brake lever, the unified
brake system is still enabled. As
further squeezing of the brake le-
ver will not increase the braking
power of the rear brake, apply the
rear brake should further braking
power be necessary (such as
when parking on a slope).
The unified brake system disables
after the brake lever is released.
The brake system then reverts to
the conventional type.
