Rear Brake Pedal Adjustment
The rear brake pedal position must be
properly adjusted at all times or the
disk brake pads will rub against the
disk causing damage to the pads and
to the disk surface. Adjust the brake
pedal position in the following man-
ner:
1. Loosen lock nut 1, and turn push
rod 2 to locate the pedal 0 – 10
mm (0 – 0.4 in) below the top face
of the footrest.
2. Retighten lock nut 1 to secure
push rod 2 in the proper position.
Rear Brake Light Switch
To adjust the brake light switch, hold
the switch body and turn the adjuster
1 so that the brake light will come on
just before a pressure rise is felt when
the brake pedal is depressed.
CAUTION
Misadjusting the rear brake pedal
can be hazardous.
An incorrectly adjusted brake
pedal may force brake pads to rub
against the disk at all times, caus-
ing damage to the pads and disk.
Follow the steps in this section to
adjust the brake pedal properly.
