Brake leverThe 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 the brake lever is pulled, the rear
brake is also applied proportionally to
the front brake. For full braking perfor-
mance, operate the brake lever and
brake pedal simultaneously.TIP Because the unified brake system
is mechanical, additional free play
can be felt in the brake pedal when the brake lever is being
pulled, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.
The unified brake system does not
operate when the brake pedal is
pressed down directly.
