Hydraulic clutch lever adjustment and uid level check
Free play (A) shall be of at least 3 mm (0.12 in).
The lever position can be adjusted to suit the rider hand size.
To decrease the lever distance from the handgrip, rotate the adjuster (B)
CLOCKWISE.
To increase the lever distance from the handgrip, rotate the adjuster (B) COUN-
TER CLOCKWISE.
Fluid level is checked as follows:
- Remove screws (1), cover (2) and rubber diaphragm from the control;
- Keep the control cylinder (3) in a horizontal position and make sure that uid
level has not dropped lower than 4 mm (0.16 in.) below the upper edge (D)
of master cylinder body;
- If needed, top up with the uid specied in the LUBRICANT CHART included
in Section "A".
Ret any parts you have removed.
Periodically check the connecting hose (see “Scheduled Maintenance Chart”);
if hose (C) is worn or cracked, its replacement is advised.
Front brake lever adjustment and uid level check (TC - TE - TXC)
The adjuster (1) located on the control lever, allows adjusting of the free play
(a). Free play (a) shall be of at least 3 mm (0.12 in).
The level of the uid in master cylinder reservoir must never be below the mini-
mum value (2), which can be checked from the inspection window on the rear of
the master cylinder body. A decrease of the uid level will let air into the system,
hence an extension of the lever stroke.
If the brake lever feels mushy when pulled, there may be air in the
brake line or the brake may be defective: CHECK THE BRAKING
SYSTEM (see Section "L").
Too much brake lever free play may reduce braking action: CHECK
BRAKE PAD THICKNESS (see Section "L").
Do not spill brake uid onto any painted surface or lens (for example
lights lens).
Do not mix two brands of uid. Completely change the brake uid
in the brake system if you wish to switch to another uid brand.
Brake uid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or eyes.
In case of contact, ush thoroughly with water and call a doctor if
your eyes were exposed.
